An incredible event, raising awareness of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Today marks 50 Days of the war in Ukraine.
Children are being killed, injured, raped and at risk for trafficking daily; many have only weeks -if not days- to safely survive. We are running out of time to rescue these children - Support @SaveukraineUs

I believe that music has a special healing power. Thatās one of the main reasons weāre drawn to it so compellingly.
āI could be so content, hearing the sound of your breathāā¦
Love Annieā¤ļø

We are filled with fear at both conscious and unconscious levels.
We carry it around with us. Anxiety, rage, depression, trauma, are all part of the individual and collective human experience.
The beauty of poetry is that statements can be made that you might not even fully understandā¦like puzzles that are open to interpretation.
āliving scares me to deathāā¦ makes an observation that the human condition is challenging, terrifying and threatening.
A more evolved culture has to be created.
Like so many aspects of Western system, weāve made a bit of a hash of it.
Post Covid ā20 ā ā22, as well as all the trauma from warfare and displacement, Iām sure thereās a massive need for this to happen.
It needs to be brought into the open so we can come more easily to terms with it.
Thereās definitely something skewed about that. We need to be able to talk about death in a safe and unthreatening way.
Itās the one absolute guarantee in every single humanās existence, yet it remains a subject of denial, avoidance and taboo.
I still havenāt figured out whether this statement is disingenuous or not.
Who am I to make grandiose statements about the subject of ādeathā being easy, when itās clearly the ONE issue that terrifies most of us all.
Even tiny insects do everything to avoid their own mortality.
COLDā¦
The line āDying is easy, itās living that scares me to deathā is a riddle of sorts.
Guts! Stamina! Courage! Intent! Focus! Discipline! THATās how you do it, you young people!!! šš§#Diva30a12x
When the school of little boys started tossing their bird seed I just said āThatās showbizā !!! š¬ļæ½yH
So we took the Diva into Saint Markās Square and just filmed whatever occurred.
Mostly it was very sweet..as I became a touristic souvenir.
The āotherā persona offers the facility to step out of āconventionā - which is why I suspect everyone wore masks of disguise during those memorable Venetian balls back in the day.
You have permission to behave differently.
And I should know shouldnāt I?
The interesting thing is how people feel challenged to respond and behave around YOU as well.
Let it be known ..
Performance is strange and challenging!
All those people who turn themselves into gold or bronze statues have a helluva job!
The things ya do for Pop shmop!!!
psā¦ They all turned out to be FABULOUSLY Diva in the end!!! Love Annie

At one point the ātalentā was so thin on the ground that we thought the entire concept might have to be changed..But then - like magic, we realised that we might have enough Annieās, if we could manage to fly our āRevengeā character from Poland! šµš± Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ( Greetings Piotr!fT
It was so nuts that we both started getting desperate fits of giggles, which we clearly had to stifle out of respect for the peeps who had turned up..
sliding down the seats in the darkened aisle, desperately trying not to be seen.
(They had no idea I was actually in the room).
Either me or Sophie came up with the notion of having AL ālook alikesā to perform, as I was expecting a baby ( Hi Tali!š) and might not have the stamina..
We held a truly surreal audition in a little old London theatre one afternoon.0
So - āLittle Birdā like all the other videos on Diva, was directed Ā by Sophie Muller, who went on to have a phenomenally brilliant career, directing just about everyone in the popular music zeitgeist from Gwen Stefanie..Shakespeareās Sister.. BeyoncĆ©..Garbage..Blur..Radiohead..
Praise be to the incomparable Annie Lennox and this deeply iconic album. I was LIVING for the drama of it as a little kidā¦the songs, the artwork, the title! And it still hits the same all these years later. šÆtwitter.com/AnnieLennox/stā¦R
Retweeted by Annie Lennox Several years later.. I got married in the same building. Little do you know my friends. Synchronicity.
psā¦ Any brilliant directors out there looking for a gothic ancient crone? Iām up for it!!! #Diva30
Saffron Aldrich needed no make up to enhance her naturally stunning features and āyours trulyā stamped and swung about like the ācrazedā person I wanted to manifest...
(The best bit was improvised crawling across the floor..just to take it that level further. )
Hugh Laurie was absolutely hilarious.. a natural comedian..and when John Malkovitch agreed to take part we almost fainted with shock and awe.
The walls were hung with ancient decorative paper that had evidently survived two world wars. The atmosphere was filled with stylish melancholy. Over the course of two days it was dressed and lit, as were the fabulous ensemble of featured characters.
There is a private members club in central London called Home House.. Itās quite swish & fancy now, but a few decades ago it was in a sadly dilapidated state.. Perfect for use as a video set!
It had and still has large rooms with high ceilings and wonderfully curved staircases.
