 Annie Lennox was born in Aberdeen, SCOTLAND, on December 25, 1954. She
attended the Aberdeen School for Girls, where she nurtured her interest
in the arts. Her parents recognized her particular interest in music as
early as age 3. She took up the piano and flute and also sang in the school
choir.
At 17, Lennox was accepted by the Royal Academy of Music in London. She
spent the next three years studying classical music, only to drop out
a few weeks before her finals. She stayed in London for another three
years where she met her boyfriend Dave Stewart in 1976.
Lennox and Stewart had their first taste of success with The Tourists,
a guitar-driven, straight-ahead Pop-Rock outfit that scored a huge hit
in 1979 with their cover of Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be
With You".
Although things seemed to be working out for The Tourists, they broke
up early in 1981. Lennox and Stewart stuck together, renaming themselves
Eurythmics, a synthesizer-based duo
which went on to sell 40 million records in the '80s.
