Motherhood gives Alicia Keys a reason to live

Singer is enjoying motherhood like no one else at the moment. Her eight-month-old son, Egypt, with husband Swizz Beatz, has given her a reason to live. She said that motherhood has changed her life and made it fun.

“Motherhood is heaven. It's so purposeful and such fun. I feel much wiser in the choices I make. I have a reason in life I never had before," Daily Mail newspaper quoted her as saying. “I suddenly found myself doing tours, TV shows and flying every day. Everyone wanted a piece of me and that was scary. Being from New York, I covered that up," she added.

The good news is, motherhood is not going to stop Alicia Keys from following her singing career. In fact, she is looking forward to collaboration with Kings of Leon. “For a while I've wanted to do something with Kings of Leon. I definitely want to do it - I'm just waiting for the right moment," she said.
