Anastacia comes clean about her real age

Pop star admits she's actually about to turn 40

Friday, 29 August 2008

Anastacia has revealed that she has lied to her fans for the past 10 years.

The singer shaved 5 years off her real age when she first found fame – and has only just dropped the pretence.

‘I'm turning 40 and I'm happy to [admit it] because I've always lied about my age,’ admits.

Record execs encouraged Anastacia to fib because they thought it would help her image in the youth-obsessed pop business.

‘Every interview I did I had to rethink when I was born, how old my brothers and sisters needed to be,' she tells Fabulous. 'I'm thrilled I can finally turn 40.’

well she accepted the terms to lie callum and it is interesting bcoz she always said that she was in her 30's so the fact that she is going to become 40 is a big deal so at least her fans know her real age..not that it makes a difference.. and this piece is not exactly saying that her music rubbish either!

Alot of record companies do this, there are many artists around who are older than they say. Anastacia always used to look stunning for her age... now she looks even better! Can't wait to see her again! Crew back on tour in 2009! x
