Shout singer Lulu has confirmed she’s suffering from hearing loss as she gears up for her final live shows. The performer, who is embarking on her final tour, revealed she had her ears tested but still wants to be able to hear her own music.
This comes as Lulu admitted she had been struggling with ‘ringing in her ears for years’ and has reportedly started wearing hearing aids. Appearing on Friday’s Good Morning Britain, Lulu explained that her condition isn’t uncommon for singers.
She said: ‘If you’re 75 I don’t think your hearing is going to be as good as it used to be. ‘But if you’re in the rock ‘n’ roll business, if you’re a performer, and a lot of them… are deaf! ‘They have no hearing at all.’
She went on: ‘I went to Specsavers because they now do hearing aids and hearing protection, and I had my ears tested. ‘And yes, moderate hearing loss but you know me, I don’t want to not hear people! ‘I want to hear everything and my music,’ she added.
