‘Black-listed': Anastacia reveals the moment she realised she'd never achieve success in America
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Anastacia has one of the most recognisable voices in the music industry, but heartbreakingly an entire continent never got the chance to experience it. Breaking out in the early 2000s with iconic banger I'm Outta Love, Anastacia quickly became one of the biggest pop stars in the world and she's enjoyed success ever since, and will soon be bringing her sell out NTK25 tour down under. But one place the American's tour won't be visiting is North America, and it's all because record label politics meant that one of the biggest music industry markets on earth never got the chance to get to know Anastacia's vocal talents. 'I'm at that age where I'm fine with what I've got. My resume is beautiful and I'm proud of it,' the feisty singer told 'At the beginning, I felt like what's wrong with me, because I didn't know the reason why.' Anastacia. Picture: Jason Edwards As she prepared to go into the promotional tour for her second record, Anastacia finally realised the incredible success she was experiencing around the world was never going to happen in her home country. 'Then I kind of got an idea of what happened between the radio station and the record company, that it was like a power struggle thing,' she continued. 'And the radio stations made you. The record company made the radio station upset and I was the black-listed name.' 'So it wasn't that I was this rejected artist in America. It was like, they never actually knew me.' She'll be playing four shows later this year in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Picture:. While she was never given the chance to show off her talents in the US, thankfully the rest of the world immediately embraced her powerhouse vocals and ear for a banger. After performing to sell out crowds in Europe, Anastacia has announced that she's bringing her latest tour to Australia later this year. She'll be performing in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in September, with just a handful of tickets left remaining for fans to snap up ahead of the shows. Anastacia's Not That Kind 25 tour starts at The Forum in Melbourne on September 24, before heading to the Coliseum Theatre in Western Sydney on September 26, the Sydney's Enmore Theatre on September 27, before a final show at Brisbane's Eatons Hill Hotel on September 29.

Anastacia reveals the terrifying menopause symptoms that she thought were caused by a brain tumour
US pop star Anastacia has revealed the terrifying moment she thought she had a brain tumour. Speaking on The Project on Monday night, the singer, 56, said she was shocked to discover she was actually experiencing menopausal migraines. Anastacia went on to explain she had been self-diagnosing and had 'no idea' that her symptoms, which included exhaustion and brain fog, were 'hormone-related'. 'It was really really scary, but I'm not scared to talk about it... Menopause has not been easy,' the noughties icon told The Project hosts Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris on Monday. 'What's been the hardest thing?' Harris asked. 'Everything. I had every side effect that I had no idea that I had. I didn't really know what was wrong. My SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) came back. My heart palpitations,' she explained. The singer, 56, said she had no idea she was actually experiencing menopausal migraines 'I thought I had a brain tumour. I was not in a good place towards the end and then realised that I had no numbers. 'So I was like "Oh, okay. Well give me some numbers kids. Give me progastrin".' Anastasia joined the program to promote the upcoming Australian leg of her 25th anniversary tour of her debut album, Not That Kind. 'I am wearing my low rise jeans on tour,' Anastacia said as she explained her enduring commitment to Y2K fashion staples. 'You never know with my age and the mesopause situation, we might fluctuate between sizes on the tour. 'I went through a period of wanting to eat everything in the refrigerator and now I'm on bioidenticals girl, so you know how it is,' she told Sarah. Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) for menopause involves using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. Sarah praised the singer's 'good attitude' about her health struggles, to which Anastacia replied: 'I don't like the side of winging and moaning.' Anastasia has previously suffered from an abnormal heart rhythm, and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 13. The pop icon was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, aged 34, and then again a decade later. Last month, Loose Women fans were left moved by Anastacia's two-word verdict on her cancer battle that involved 16 surgeries. While chatting to Christine Lampard, Brenda Edwards, Coleen Nolan and Jane Moore, her health came up. Anastacia said: 'When I got it the second time I decided to do the mastectomy, that means it's all gone. 'I made a very, very hard choice early and the minute the surgery was complete, I never worried about it again. 'I did have 15 more surgeries after that surgery to get to where I was complete, but who cares?' She poignantly signed off: 'I won!' Anastacia is heading Down Under for the time in a decade as part of a world tour celebrating 25 years of her hit debut album, Not That Kind. The noughties hitmaker will play shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in September, and advance tickets for the gigs will go on sale from March 28. Anastacia last toured Australia in 2015 as part of her Resurrection Tour.

I saw Anastacia live at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall
There is no mistaking the incredible voice of Anastacia. The US singer was a complete powerhouse as she hit the high notes at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall on Friday night. Coming through a door on stage, the petite star oozed with confidence as she belted out One Day in Your Life.

Calum Buchan picture.) Now or Never and Staring at the Sun followed, with the 56-year-old impressing with her pipes from the get-go. Her vocals are soulful, sultry, and rocky all at once—it's a joy to hear. Beaming from ear to ear, she said: 'Well, what's going on Glasgow? 'Oh my gosh. You are all so delicious.' Taking in the reaction of the crowd, who were going wild for the Chicago native, she laughed: 'You're up for it?' (Image: Anastacia live in Glasgow at the Royal Concert Hall April 25, 2025.

Revealing she had a fried Mars Bar, she told her fans: 'I'm kinda addicted to the fact you guys like to fry a lot of s**t here. 'Do we have to leave here tonight?' And the resounding wish from the crowd was no - they were wanting to soak in every minute of the star who was in the city celebrating 25 years since the release of her debut Not That Kind.

(Image: Anastacia live in Glasgow at the Royal Concert Hall April 25, 2025. Calum Buchan picture.) You'll Never Be Alone followed, showing off the prowess of her voice. She could easily slot into a hall of vocal fame occupied by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, or Mariah Carey, she's that good. She proved this on a cover of the Guns N' Roses smash hit Sweet Child O' Mine, she sounded sensational. While Outside Alone, Not That Kind, and the song that made Anastacia a global phenomenon, I'm Outta Love rounded off a spectacular show.
