This morning the news is bounced on major music sites: English newspaper Wednesdays Mirror (already famous for its fake scoop) surprise announcement that Jay is apparently planning to leave the world of music.
Personally I have absolutely no weight given to the news and I just carry the wording only Forum Jamitaly just to collect your comments and discuss (again) how sad to construct items to fill the columns of a newspaper.
However in the afternoon arrives dry denial from the official site with a statement that you carry the following:
And now, time for the truth | 28.02.2007
Ok, so there is a story in today’s Mirror implying Jay is quitting the music business: Needless to say they’ve got it completely wrong! You see, in a quick chat with one of the paper’s journalists following his record breaking Gig in the Sky yesterday, Jay mentioned he was taking time out to update his home studio and take some time off before the band go back in to start writing a new album later in the year. He also talked about working on new arrangements of songs so next time they go out on tour they have fresh take on the tracks they play live perhaps incorporating strings or horns. Perhaps they should listen next time! When they gonna learn? On seeing the way his chat was reported today in the Mirror Jay said “As usual they got it wrong for a cheap headline! All I said was that we’re taking a bit of time out to get the studio refurbished and we’ll be back making music in a few months time. There’s no way I’m quitting the music business – now I am out of my long contract with SonyBMG we have so many options open to us we’re just going to take our time and get it right – its just getting interesting!”

Come from other updates Jamiroquai official website and new photos are also published on Our forum (Please click here!).
Jamiroquai have just landed in…..Athens, Greece, after what was an amazing gig by all accounts. Upon boarding the specially adapted plane in Munich, attendees were greeted by air stewardesses in “Cosmic Girl” uniforms! Upon take-off, the overhead lockers opened up to reveal flashing disco lights. Jamiroquai performed at the front of the plane where the first 6 or 7 rows of seats had been removed. Guests had to remain in their seats, presumably for health and safety reasons, but as there was a camera crew filming the performance, they could still see everything from tv screens throughout the plane. There was a small bit of turbulence during the performance but like a true professional, Jay simply clung onto an overhead locker and carried on. It’s now official, Jamiroquai have entered the Guinness Book of Records – for The Highest Ever Gig! During the flight, a meal of chicken was served with chocolate mousse for dessert. There was 10 golden Tickets amongst the dinners served, with the lucky recipients winning the chance to meet and greet the band. Nobody went away empty-handed though – everyone got the new Sony Ericsson mobile phone and special Gig in the Sky commerative bag. We will be uploading photos and video as they come in, But For Now, here’s the full setlist – Jamiroquai played for 30 minutes
1. Radio – this was the first time Radio was played live!
2. Feels Just Like it Should
3. High Times
4. If I Like it I do it

Well you, Today is the big day “Gig in the Sky”, concert highest of all time. Jamiroquai they performed this afternoon aboard a Boeing (specially modified) before an audience of lucky winners of a competition organized by Sony Music.
The the band's official website has posted some information about how the afternoon went to the band and fans:
After being flown out to Munich from their respective locations, the Gig in the Sky competition winners checked in for the mystery-destination flight eager with anticipation for what the unplugged gig and afterparty might bring. The winners, and the band, are currently mid-flight, having taken off from Munich at roughly 15.00 GMT. Of the winners, the furthest travelled has to be a group of six from Johannesburg, South Africa. Two of the group, David and Rudy, said that after leaving South Africa at 8pm on Monday night it had been a long journey but that it was well worth it! Guests were each given a free bag with their name on it and funky Jamiroquai embroidery accross the front. A collectors item already, no doubt! As soon as the plane lands in the secret destination, Jamiroquai.com will be uploading more pictures, news and the full setlist so check back soon. Upon landing, Jamiroquai will be proud holders of a World Record for the Highest Ever Gig. Safe trip Jamiroquai!
Besides, always on jamiroquai.com, There are a few pictures taken at the airport.
Stay in touch, updates are expected soon!
