Annie Lennox Short biography
Annie Lennox, born on December 25, 1954, is a Scottish musician, singer-songwriter, and activist. With a successful career spanning over four decades, she has achieved global recognition as a member of the Eurythmics and a prominent solo artist.
Lennox began her musical journey in the late 1970s as the lead singer of The Tourists. After the band's dissolution in 1980, she formed Eurythmics with Dave Stewart. Their debut album, 'In the Garden,' released in 1981, propelled them to international fame. Songs like 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' and 'Who's That Girl?' became instant classics.
In 1990, Lennox embarked on a successful solo career, releasing her debut album, 'Diva.' This album, featuring hit singles such as 'Why' and 'Walking on Broken Glass,' topped charts worldwide and went quadruple platinum in the UK.
Throughout her solo career, Lennox has released six studio albums, including 'Medusa' (1995), 'Bare' (2003), and 'Songs of Mass Destruction' (2007). Her music often addresses social issues, particularly the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Her passion for activism led to the creation of The SING Campaign in 2007, a charitable organization dedicated to raising awareness and funding for women and children living with HIV/AIDS. Lennox has also served as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for AIDS since 2010.
