Why wouldn’t anyone give this ‘old bird’ a seat on the Tube, asks Lulu, 70
IT might not have been very polite of her fellow passengers, but it could also be a tribute to her ageless looks.
Lulu, 70, has told how she had to stand in a packed London Underground carriage because no one offered her their seat.
The singer posted a picture of herself taking the Tube on the way to perform at the O2 Arena in Greenwich.
She joked: ‘On the way to work at the O2 London tonight ... and nobody gave this old bird a seat on the tube #oap.’
Fortunately Lulu, who had her first hit in 1964, is still in great shape. She is currently touring with Take That, and was on her way to perform with them when the picture was taken. The star has previously said that the secret behind her youthful complexion is to be sparing with the make-up.
‘For young people it doesn’t matter so much,’ she said. ‘But when you’re older, less is definitely more – too much make-up can give you the eccentric Aunt Sally look.’
She added: ‘It’s important to have a regime, and over time it becomes effortless, like brushing your teeth.
‘Always take off your make-up before bed and apply night cream. I am fanatical about cleansing – it’s every bit as important as moisturising.’
