(antiMusic) Fame sucks for Mike Skinner, a.k.a. The Streets. The critically acclaimed artist broke the news to fans via his Myspace blog that the price of fame will cost them. The currency will be their patience as the new Streets album isn't likely to street until 2008, due mainly to the ubber stress of fame foisted on Skinner.

Skinner writes: Making an album when you're quite well known is a bit stressful. I've had to accept this week that because my album isn't quite right yet it won't be coming out this year.

I think I've got the makings of a great record, but I've been working so hard on it my head is spinning at the end of every day and when I wake up each morning the first thing I feel is panic.

I've decided to try to get some distance from it while we do this Scotland tour, Get Loaded (In The Park) and Ibiza. This also means I'll maintain my tidy pattern of releasing an album in 2002, 2004, 2006 and, now, 2008.
