Wainwright 'hasn't dealt with grief'

Rufus Wainwright has revealed that he hasn't dealt with his grief for his late mother yet.

The singer's mother passed away in January at the age of 63 after a battle with cancer.

However, Wainwright told The Sun that he has been too busy to grieve.

"Getting straight back into things after she died... well, I don't make it easy on myself, but someone's got to work around here," he said. "I've saved July to collapse."

He continued: "There's always some huge personal issue I'm not dealing with so I overcompensate with my artistic endeavours. This has been the worst of times but it's also been the best in a weird way because I had such a great relationship with my mother."

Wainwright recently revealed that he has reconciled with his father since his mother's death.
