Following the footballers’ trend of joining the music industry, the Brazilian iconic starlet Neymar announced to launch his music career recently on Twitter. The Barcelona winger confirmed his first song will be released on Facebook on the upcoming Wednesday.
This announcement was made via Twitter less than a day after the Catalan’s defeat to newly promoted side Deportivo Alavés.
In the past, the likes of Kevin Keegan, Paul Gascoigne, Andy Cole, Bryan Robson, and Zinedine Zidane had also tried their hand in the music business. Neymar’s decision to launch a music career comes a few weeks after his Brazilian compatriot Pele did the same.
The 24 years old did not reveal the name of his debut song which is going to be released on Facebook, a day after Barcelona’s Champions League clash against Celtic.
“Friends, on Wednesday I begin my music career and will launch my first song on Facebook,” the Brazilian tweeted. “We will have ‘Neymusico’. Share it,” – he further added.
In Brazil, Neymar has been often seen at musical gigs and concerts. He has also been photographed with well-known music artists like Justin Bieber. Neymar’s official Twitter account also had shown activities of locating piano classes, hinting towards the outcome of his latest endeavour.
