Singer Ellie Goulding says she is planning to take a break from recording and performing as she feels her life has been on "hold".
"I'm still going to be writing, but it's been so overwhelming the past few years that it's time to go away for a little bit and be out of the limelight," Goulding said.
The 29-year-old "Burn" hitmaker said she wants to spend with time with her friends and family now, reported Femalefirst.
"It's really a commitment, being on the road; you almost put everything on hold -- seeing family, seeing friends. I've missed so many weddings and births. It will be nice to wake up and know I don't have anything to do," she added.
