Found Eternal youth? Louise relaunching her pop career and ‘eyeing up quick divorce’
SHE was one-quarter of chart-topping girlband Eternal in the Nineties and also found solo chart success. Now, 15 years on from her last show, Louise Redknapp is gearing up to make a musical comeback and has announced her first stage show.
Amid claims that her marriage to former soccer star Jamie is in crisis, the 42-year-old singer has revealed she is set to perform a show in London on December 22.
Louise revealed: ‘I went into the studio to rework some of my original tracks. I can’t wait to be back on stage performing all of the hits and my favourite covers.’
Her pop comeback comes after she signed up to perform in the musical Cabaret from this month, and a year on from her Strictly Come Dancing stint.
She will come to Ireland as part of the Cabaret tour, where she will perform in November and December at Dublin’s Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
Louise was a member of R&B girl group Eternal with sisters Easther and Vernie Bennett and Kéllé Bryan between 1992 and 1995. Louise was the first to leave to pursue a solo career, scoring a string of Top 10 singles and albums.
Her pop comeback comes amid claims she is keen to end her marriage as soon as possible, with a quickie divorce. According to reports, the singer and husband Jamie are ‘no closer to getting back together’, and want to call things off by the end of the year.
Louise’s 19-year marriage to Jamie reportedly broke down in July, due to her new ‘lease of life’ following her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing.
Having been seen at a number of glamorous events with a host of friends in recent weeks, including model Daisy Lowe, there are now reports that the Eternal singer is keen for a quickie divorce, in order to further embrace her independence.
But the reports come just four days after both the singer and her husband, 44, were seen wearing their wedding rings. Louise has appeared in good spirits in recent weeks – putting her reported romantic woes aside on Friday to enjoy a relaxing girls’ holiday abroad.
