The 29-year-old is planning a break from showbiz that could last up to six months, reported Daily Mirror.
"Cheryl's a trouper when it comes to her work commitments and loves nothing more than making music and getting up on stage.
"But she feels now that she needs a break and an opportunity to recharge her batteries as she's barely had any time off. From the moment she released Call My Name in May 2012 she was thrown back into promotional duties and toured second album A Million Lights around the UK and Ireland in October," a source said.
