Sheena Easton, the acclaimed singer-actress who rose to fame in the 1980s, has revealed that her life today is a far cry from her former pop star status. The 66-year-old, who performed duets with Prince and was the voice behind the theme for the 1981 James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only," has stepped back from the music industry in recent years.
Easton, who earned two Grammys and sold over 20 million records during her heyday, now leads a "normal" life that includes driving a Prius and playing video games daily. "I'm a hardcore gamer," she shared, citing favorites like "World of Warcraft" and "Ghost of Tsushima."
After navigating the "craziness" of the 1980s, Easton made a conscious decision to change her life, opting to scale back her performances and avoid being "shoved in people's faces." She now only does "intimate" shows for audiences of 500 people, allowing her to maintain a low-key lifestyle "99 percent of the time."
