dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scots singer Lulu was overcome with emotion as she opened up on the death of her parents. The 75-year-old iconic Shout singer reflected on losing both her mum and dad within years of each other on Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast and also about their tumultuous relationship, writes The Mirror.She became very emotional as she said: “They loved each other because ultimately, they stayed together, which sounds crazy because today it wouldn’t happen.

My mother died first, she was in her late 70s, and she died of cancer. Then my father died two years later, I would say of a broken heart."The star's voice began to break as she continued: "I can’t believe I still have tears about this but it’s deep, it runs deep.”She went on to add that her parents had had a difficult relationship due to her father's alcoholism which caused unpredictable behaviour.

She told Gyles: "There was a lot of singing, there wasn’t a lot of money, but music is joyful. My father had a voice like Pavarotti, it was big and powerful, and he sang from his heart and soul. "I feel that it is important for me to share what went on in my childhood because I always felt in the past that people would look down on me and my parents, and I didn’t want that because I love them. "Now, I know that none of it was their fault, their behaviours were the life they had landed in.

There was a lot of fun, and my parents loved me. No matter what went on, I felt their love.” This isn't the first time that Lulu has opened up about the "difficulties" she had faced with her dad but they had "dealt with them in order to survive”.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the
