The Go-Go's lead singer, Belinda Carlisle, knows what it's like to have the ultimate glow-up as she gets older.
The '80s pop rock queen, 67, who smashed onto the scene with hits like “We Got the Beat” and “Vacation,” also had a successful solo career with hits like “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.” Still going strong as a soloist with the recent release of her new album, “Once Upon a Time in California,” back in August, Carlisle keeps up with her followers on her Instagram account and often shares photos from back in the day. But a recent post, which showed her from the late '70s, caught our eye like never before.
"Never underestimate a girl or her bag. #BelindaCarlisle Now and Then ➡️," the photographer captioned the photo, which showed the stunning singer, looking more gorgeous than ever in the present day, in a chic black outfit toting a Christian Dior bag. Swipe over to the second slide, and you can see a much younger Carlisle wearing an all-black outfit constructed out of a garbage bag. Sporting short, curly hair and a black hat, it's almost hard to recognize the future music star.
"I ate oatmeal for a month to buy that bag in the late 70s❤️," Carlisle noted.
View this post on InstagramWhile Carlisle is doing great these days, it wasn’t always the case. In addition to struggling with imposter syndrome as a young singer, Carlisle struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. Looking back, the singer told Rolling Stone Australia this fall that she’s grateful there was no social media during the time she was struggling so prominently.
“I would’ve been the Lindsay Lohan of my time!” she said. “Oh my God, yeah. And even when everybody had a cell phone, they didn’t have a camera [inbuilt] yet. So that would’ve been the end of me, that’s for sure. Jesus! We were really lucky. None of that was around, so you could behave badly and chances were that no one ever heard about it.”
Finding Peace in Sobriety
After years of relapse, Carlisle ultimately found sobriety. She opened up in an interview with The Sunday Times about her lengthy journey.
“I thought, I’ll just drink wine, and I won’t do coke. I realized that in order to continue with my career — which was in the toilet — the most important thing was to get sober. I remember playing this little club in Northampton at the end of my drinking and using. There were 12 people in the audience, and my dressing room was a closet for cleaning materials, mops, and brooms. I thought, Wow. I was able to turn things around, but I wouldn’t have been able to if I had been behaving in the way I was before I got sober,” she recalled.
These days, things look a lot different for Carlisle.
“I get up at 3:30 am. Then I chant for 40 minutes. I love chanting. It’s not airy-fairy; it’s scientific,” she explained.
No matter whether she’s chanting or singing, Carlisle still knows how to rock. Here’s a throwback from one of her most legendary tunes:
