Belinda Carlisle

American singer Belinda Carlisle appeared on the scene in the early 1980s as part of the cocky, all-girl punk band The Go-Go's. Over time, the artist changed her image and musical style, becoming a world-class pop diva. Today Belinda continues to make music, but her name is no longer perceived otherwise than in conjunction with the bygone era of lush hairstyles, pearl lipsticks and boiled jeans.

Belinda Joe Carlisle didn't have to travel far in search of fame. The girl was born in Hollywood in 1958. Parents of seven children with many children were engaged in labor professions: mother sewed clothes, and father did carpentry. The man had problems with alcohol, which led to a divorce, after which his mother remarried.

Already in childhood, Belinda began to show a rebellious disposition, which was aggravated by an unimportant relationship with her stepfather, whom the girl could not stand. Due to conflicts in the family, the future singer tried to spend as little time at home as possible. She was fond of boyish sports and even made her way to the youth basketball team, becoming the first girl in history there. She was also fond of football and fights, trying not to be inferior to the guys in anything.

Carlisle managed to settle down by the senior classes. She lost weight and became an attractive young lady who found a place in a support group, where only the cutest girls got. After graduating from school in 1976, Belinda, without hesitation, packed her things and left her parental home. She dreamed of building a career as a singer, and for this she had all the data, including a bright appearance, an ear for music, an expressive voice and a talent for writing.

Belinda began her musical career as a drummer, joining the group The Germs, but quickly realized that she wanted to play the leading roles. After that, the girl collected The Go-Go's, who began to perform songs of his own composition. Carlisle has written music, lyrics and performed as a soloist. The band quickly took off, becoming the first female rock group to topped the Billboard chart.

In the early 1980s, the girl quartet became a favorite of the audience, gaining stellar status. The Go-Go's were sold out at concerts and recorded 3 discs, but disbanded in 1984. After that, Belinda began a solo career. The singer's debut album was called "Belinda" and was released in 1986. The release of the album was preceded by the single "Mad About You", which became the main song of the summer and took the third place in the American charts.

A year later, the performer prepared a second release, where she appeared in a new image of a gentle and charming woman, which replaced the image of a young savage. "Heaven on Earth" was a pop-rock genre and went platinum in the US. The tracks “Circle in the Sand” and “Love Never Dies” sounded here, and the single “Heaven is a Place on Earth” conquered the whole world, topping the charts in Europe and Australia. The video for the song featured the singer's husband, Morgan Mason.

In the mid-1980s, few people in America could compare in popularity with the loud-voiced Belinda, but over time, interest in her person began to wane. The 1989 album "Runaway Horses" was notable for its maturity and depth, but the audience began to find new heroes. At the same time, the song "La Luna" replenished the singer's collection of hits, and "Leave a Light On", written in a creative duet with George Harrison, remained in the shadows.

Carlisle recorded 3 discs in the 1990s, but their success could not be compared with the first works, despite the presence of such bright singles as “California” and “It's Too Real”.

The singer left the United States, moving to live in France, and returned to music only in 2007, releasing the album "Voilà". Here the performer sings in French to the accompaniment of Irish musicians. The keyboard arrangements for the songs were prepared by Brian Eno.

In 1984, at the peak of the popularity of The Go-Go's, Belinda met her future husband Morgan Mason, who served as senior adviser to US President Ronald Reagan. They say that it was this acquaintance that influenced the girl's departure from the group. Chosen Carlisle is the son of the famous English actor James Mason. The singer spoke about the details of her personal life in the book Lips Unsealed, dedicated to her own biography.

From here, fans learned about the singer's problems associated with a 30-year cocaine addiction, eating disorders and alcohol abuse. The woman admitted that she did not stop drinking, even being pregnant with her only son, James Duke, who was born in 1992.

Belinda says that she began to use drugs not in search of a high, but to stifle her appetite, because she was panicky afraid of getting fat. As a result, the addiction brought her to the bottom, and the artist only miraculously escaped trouble in the form of a car accident or going to prison.

Carlisle found a way out of the vicious circle of addictions in Buddhism, without resorting to traditional methods of rehabilitation. A woman devotes 4-5 hours a day to meditative practices and yoga. The singer left the United States and now lives in India, then in France.

The son of Belinda at the age of 14 confessed to being gay. The artist was shocked by the news and still hoped that he would change her choice, despite the fact that she herself had supported the gay community for a long time. However, the mother had to take James Duke's homosexuality for granted, and now she gives speeches, giving advice to parents whose children are attracted to people of the same gender.

The singer's son takes an active political position, working in the US House of Representatives and supporting individual candidates. In 2012, the young man was one of the official representatives of Barack Obama, and in the next elections he supported Hillary Clinton's team on a volunteer basis.

Belinda does not give up music and writes songs. The last album "Wilder Shores" was released in 2017 and became the eighth in the discography. The style of the record differs from the traditional pop style of the performer and is inspired by Sikh chants. 25 years of kundalini yoga practice prompted Carlisle to study mantras, the motive of which can be traced in new tracks.

For many years, the artist has been a staunch vegetarian, and she has also been involved in charitable initiatives. In 2014, in Kolkata, a woman founded the Animal People Alliance, which provides assistance to stray animals. The woman places calls to support the homeless beast on her Twitter account. Here, fans follow the latest photos and the latest news from the life of the star. Belinda also runs Instagram, but prefers to keep the page closed.

Carlisle managed not to lose the beauty that she shone with in her youth. Now attractive external features have been enriched with worldly wisdom and inner harmony that a woman radiates. She is still in good shape and weighs 62 kg with a height of 170 cm. Fans still cannot forget her candid photo shoots in a swimsuit and without, which the star spent in the old years.
