Tori Amos Embraces Second Act Post-Menopause

Singer-songwriter Tori Amos, now 62, is fully embracing her "second act" with her 18th album and her largest European tour in a decade. She candidly discusses navigating menopause, calling it a "trial by fire" that she overcame with medical intervention, including hormone level checks.

Amos explains that her voice has deepened since menopause, affecting her vocal range, a change she adapts to rather than resists. Her current tour includes background vocalists, a new addition for her performances. She describes her touring life as "full-on rock'n'roll," complete with a wine cellar on her bus.

Residing in North Cornwall, Amos cherishes the peaceful life away from big cities, finding inspiration in the local landscape. Her latest album, 'In Times of Dragons,' is described as an allegory for present-day America, featuring her daughter, Natashya Hawley, on vocals.
