According to MailOnline, Suzi ‘can’t bear’ to listen to the album as she finds it ‘too sad’ and is ‘shocked’ her ex even wrote about their relationship.
A source told the paper: ‘Suzi can’t listen to the album, it’s too sad for her. She was shocked to learn quite how deeply he wrote about their relationship. Apparently, she had no idea.
‘Some of the songs are very emotional for Damon, they were written at a time when he wasn’t in the best of places, at a time when he wasn’t happy.’
One song in particular, named Goodbye Albert, includes the lyrics: ‘Goodbye to you and me, goodbye to the shallows like refugees singing, crossed the world, we disappeared, and no one looks to see if we are coming back soon, I was not ready yet.’
The outlet also reported that Suzi had asked Damon to leave their Notting Hill home.
