As the Scottish band go back on tour after more than three decades of hits, their frontwoman will take on your questions
For over 30 years, Sharleen Spiteri’s carefree and soulful voice has lit up a string of radio-friendly hits both solo and as the frontwoman of Texas, who are heading back out on tour this month – and before they begin, she will answer Guardian readers’ questions on her life and career.
Before selling tens of millions of albums, Spiteri grew up in suburban Glasgow and worked as a hairdresser, forming
Texas in 1987. Their debut single I Don’t Want a Lover went Top 10 in the
UK and charted in the US, with its appealing combination of slick soft rock and Spiteri’s country-ish vocal melody.
