In a powerful and deeply personal new interview published today in The Independent, Annie reflects on her extraordinary life and career as she prepares to release her first illustrated memoir, Annie Lennox: Retrospective. The article, written by Charlotte Cripps, offers rare insight into Annie’s childhood in Aberdeen, her diagnosis as neurodivergent, and her lifelong resistance to the hypersexualisation of the music industry.

From her early days with Dave Stewart in The Tourists, to the ground breaking success of Eurythmics, and her solo career that followed, Annie shares candid memories and thoughtful reflections. She speaks openly about the challenges of being a woman in a male-led industry, her iconic androgynous style, and the importance of staying true to herself, and also confirms that she has recently recorded some new music,

The interview also touches on Annie’s views on ageing, feminism, and the evolving landscape of pop culture. It’s a beautifully written piece that captures the essence of Annie’s artistry, activism, and authenticity.
