Overview

• Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Women’s Hour with Nuala McGovern, Lennox said she was recently diagnosed with ADHD and described herself as neurodivergent.
• She said the diagnosis “explained a great deal” about how her mind works and noted it is “not an easy thing to live with” while also describing it as a “superpower.”
• The Eurythmics singer has long reported complications from a 2008 spinal operation after a severe back spasm in Mexico, including ongoing nerve pain and a limp.
• A Sony BMG spokesperson previously said she was flown to London for surgery to relieve a trapped nerve, and Lennox has since said the physical challenges mean she can no longer tour.
• Lennox, 70, also recently marked the 39th anniversary of Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams, reflecting on her career alongside the personal health update.
