British singer Seal has fired back at style magazine Vanity Fair for misquoting him in an article about the U.S. presidential election.

The Crazy singer insists the magazine's editors went too far when they quoted him saying he'd leave America with his wife Heidi Klum and their children if John McCain was elected the 44th U.S. President.

As it was, Barack Obama won the election last week (04Nov08) - but Seal's still upset that he was misquoted in the Vanity Fair article.

He tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "What I did say (was), the country has gone through perhaps the worst eight years during the current administration, since I have been living here the past 20 years. I said, 'It's OK for us, if a country gets too bad, too polarized, if it gets too divisive, we have options. We can always go somewhere."

"But we don't have those options any more because we have three very beautiful, very healthy American children. And this is their country. And my wife has just become a U.S. citizen. And neither of us are about to up and take them (kids) from this country." (KL/WNVACC/CL)
