Leona posted the following message on her official site earlier today:

Feb 29 2008 – Hey everyone

Hey guys sorry I haven’t written until now.

After the Brits I flew straight off to Africa for Sport Relief. It was a truly life changing experience and I’ve written a diary of my time there which will be up on the site soon!!

I had an incredible night at the Brits, performing there was such a great experirence for me. I want to thank everyone who voted for me on the awards your support is amazing, thank you, I know there were many stories about me being upset or dissapointed on the night but they couldn’t be further from the truth! I had a wonderful time and I’m just glad I got to perform because thats what I love!

Leona may be stripping for animal rights. According to The Sun, Leona, who is a vegetarian, will strip off for charity PETA.

She has been asked to pose for their “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” campaign.

A source close to Leona said: “She’s hugely proud to have been asked. She’s a strict vegetarian so it’s a cause close to her heart.”

Leona won’t be going on tour anytime soon, unfortunately. In fact, Leona will release a second album before going on tour. The second album is expected to be released next year.

“We have absolutely no plans for her to tour until 2010,” Lewis’ manager Richard Griffiths, head of London-based Modest Management, tells Billboard.com. “We’re going to make ['Spirit'] the biggest record in the world, then we’ll make another record in 2009, and tour on the back of that.”

“Spirit” arrives April 8 in the United States through J/SyCo Music. Lewis will support the release with a six-week promo trip stateside. “America is looking extremely positive. J Records is doing an incredible job there,” says Griffiths. “The initial airplay position is very positive. We’ve got no problems at the moment.”
