Annie Lennox was born on 25 December 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland. I studied piano and flute. After school, she received a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, but left school before completing her education. For several years, Annie worked in the suburbs of London during the day and sang in the evenings. In the late 1970s, she met Dave Stewart, who after a while invited her to become a vocalist in the group he and Pete Combs created. Annie Lennox joined The Tourists, and after the band broke up in 1980, Lennox and Stewart formed a duo called the Euroythmics. Recognition came to the new band only in 1983 - thanks to the song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". The disc sold more than a million copies. Over the next decade, the duo "Eurythmics" performed around the world, the total circulation of the band's discs was over 30 million copies, and in no small part the success of the group was due to the singer's vocal data. In the 1980s, international hits included Stewart and Lennox's "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Would I Lie to You?", "Missionary Man", "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)", "You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart", "Don'tAsk Me Why".
By the late 1980s, however, Eurothmics' popularity had declined, and with the release of We Too Are One, Stewart and Lennox decided to pursue their own projects in the early 1990s. In 1992, Annie Lennox released her solo album Diva with the hits Walking on Broken Glass and Why; the album was nominated for a Grammy Award in three nominations. In 1995, the world saw the second solo album Lennox - "Medusa", which by the end of the year became "platinum". In 1998, the Eurothmics compilation Greatest Hits was released, and in 1999, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart creatively reunited with the release of their new album Peace, the first Eurothmics studio album in ten years.
