EXCLUSIVE: 80s popstar and icon Kim Wilde opens up on her lengthy music career, her excitement over the Oasis reunion next year and her dad Marty's scary hospital dash
Kim Wilde is one of the most famous singers of the 80s. In 1981, her pop debut, Kids In America, was a global hit and she went on to sell more than 30 million records. Overnight, she became the poster on every teen’s bedroom wall – the voice of a generation of rebellious youth. Fresh from her performance alongside Sting at Radio 2 In The Park in September, Kim, 63, says, “I’m still in shock that Radio 2 actually wanted me to do it.
“Touring with Michael on his Bad tour was the first time I began to think about myself as being a ‘live’ artist,” she says. “It was an amazing time. One minute I’m singing in my bedroom at home – the next I’m on Top Of The Pops. Performing with Michael Jackson is something I will never forget.” As for Kim, she still has all the moves and is fighting fit, having recovered from a slipped disc last year which saw her sidelined for four months. “As I’ve got older, keeping fit has become more of a priority,” she says. “In my younger days it was more about vanity. I work with a personal trainer twice a week and recently discovered cold water dipping. I gave up alcohol eight years ago. I used to worry about ageing, but now I’m 63, I just don’t.
that and decided that’s what I stood for.” Today, with new album Closer out in January and another single, Trail Of Destruction, under her belt, Kim is ready to embrace a new chapter.
