The X Factor Australia Winner Altiyan Childs quits, now works as Forklift Driver

2010 X Factor Australia winner Altiyan Childs has reportedly quit the music industry and gone back to work as a forklift driver, according to Herald Sun. Childs dumped his management and record company last year and had to go back to his old profession to make ends meet. "He's in a very dark, unsettling place" claims a Childs confidante. Hm.

From Herald Sun:

Having dumped his management and record company last year after a spate of controversies, the cave-dwelling ARIA winner is said to be jumping back in the truck in Sydney's western suburbs to make ends meet.

"He's in a very dark, unsettling place," a Childs confidante told Confidential.

"He's going back to work because he has to. There's no other choice. Maybe he'll go back to music one day but right now he's quit. The thing with (forklift driving) is that there are plenty of jobs."
