Chipmunk getting better

Chipmunk says he's now back to good health.

The 18-year-old artist- real name Jahmaal Fyffe - cancelled all forthcoming appearances after posting a series of disturbing messages on his Twitter page hinting he wanted to commit suicide.

However, he made his first public performance at Rihanna's comeback show in London on Monday night (16.11.09), and at the after-party at nightspot Mahiki Chipmunk insisted he was feeling better after his break.

He said: "I'm on a trip back to normality. I'm in good health and it's all good. Things got a bit crazy and I needed to take a break to sort my head out but I feel better already."

Chipmunk had sparked huge concern for his welfare after posting messages on the social networking site which said "I Want to Die" and later he asked "is suicide easy?"

The star - who had a number one with 'Oopsy Daisy', was working up to 18 hours a day before he reached breaking point.

His record company previously said: "Chipmunk has been working incredibly hard on generating a successful music career which has taken its toll on such a young artist.

"Label and management have agreed to cancel all upcoming promotion and personal appearances to give him some much needed time off."
