The Scottish singer songwriter doesn’t get celebrities who constantly post updates on the micro blogging site. “I don’t really get it. I do have an account but it’s not always me updating it,” Nutini said. “Why would I like to be just writing random sentences all say? I don’t think: ‘Oooh I am going to tell everyone I know that I just woke up.’ I don’t care if the fans know that because I’d rather they know I’m concentrating on my music. Plus I don’t have the time.”
