Annie Lennox si laurea a Londra

“Music has the power to do these things”

Parole (e musica) della neo-dottoressa Annie Lennox, che con una foto su Instagram ha annunciato la laurea ad honorem alla Royal Academy of Music di Londra.

I had the most dreamy day yesterday.. I have never been involved with music to receive awards, as it just doesn’t work like that, but this recognition completes a special personal circle for me, as a ‘drop out’ holding an honorary doctorate. When I told my mother and father that I was going to leave the Royal Academy they were deeply upset, but I knew it had to be done. I wish they were still around to know how it all turned out in the end. Every single time I’ve performed in front of a live audience I’ve had to face down the stage fright and inner critic that consistently hounded me for years.. There were so many challenges along the way, with countless stories, stranger than any kind of fiction.

Su Facebook, oltre ad aver rilanciato la foto instagrammata, Annie racconta anche la propria storia: di come, nel 1971, sia entrata alla Royal Academy per studiare flauto, ma che le difficoltà le hanno impedito di continuare. Quando si dice il destino: nonostante tutto, la Lennox qualcosa nella musica ha fatto lo stesso, e il 6 luglio 2017 per lei si è chiuso un cerchio.
