Sheena Easton Explains Her Exit From Pop Stardom as New Box Set Nears

The 1980s star says she chose normal life over the industry grind to stay grounded.

Overview

  • In a new interview cited by multiple outlets, Easton says she walked away from the pop machine because she did not want the job’s compulsory demands to define her life.
  • She now limits appearances to a few intimate shows for roughly 500 people, allowing her to keep a low public profile.
  • Easton has not released a studio album since 2000 and says she found it easy not to return to large-scale recording cycles.
  • She describes herself as a hardcore gamer who spends an hour or two each day playing titles including World of Warcraft and Ghost of Tsushima.
  • A retrospective box set titled Strut is slated for Oct. 31, with another collection, Modern Girl, also reported for release this year.
