Usain Bolt is reportedly working on a secret second album, after his retirement from sprinting and a short-lived attempt at becoming a footballer.
The eight-time Olympic gold medallist, 35, has turned fully towards music and is working on a follow-up to his album Country Yutes, released last September, The Sun reports.
Speaking to the publication, he said: 'Music is just a part of me. In lockdown I wasn’t doing much so I thought I could take the opportunity to get into music as it is something that I love to do.

“For me the album we did was just to show people that we were serious. When we started out people thought I was just messing around and bored with nothing to do but I wanted to let them know I was serious.
'I wanted to do a proper body of work and put it out there. Now we have done that, people are reaching out to work with us so I am going to be doing a lot more this year.'
Usain also added that he was keen to collaborate with other artists in the UK and had reached out to several of them already.
The dad-of-three's debut record helped give him his first Billboard top ten in their reggae album charts.
