You make (Lulu) want to shout! But not before noon.
Speakingto the BBCearlier this week, the “Shout” singer revealed that she doesn’t speak before noon when she’s on tour to preserve her voice.
“I don’t speak before 12 noon. I can understand why you think I’m lying,” Lulu, 75, told the outlet. “But no. I’m very disciplined.”
She adds, “I try not to come out of my room until 12. It makes it easier. I take care of my instrument. It allows me to sing.”
On Saturday, April 6, Lulu — who rose to fame after the release of “Shout” at 15 — is embarking on her farewellChampagne with Lulutour.
“To be honest with you, if when I was 15 years old and someone would have suggested I’d be doing a farewell tour when I’m 75, I’d have said, ‘You are having a laugh,'” she said.
Adding, “You almost need an army to go on the road and I don’t want to do it like this anymore.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Lulu opened up about working with the lateDavid Bowieon her version of “The Man Who Sold the World” in 1974.
“Bowie was a very special moment in my life,” the “Oh Me Oh My” singer said.
Though Champagne with Lulu will be her final tour, the singer still plans to continue writing and recording music. And she still has one goal in mind for her music career.
“I want to sing a duet withRod Stewart, I’ve never sung with Rod. That’s on my wish list,” Lulu said. “I think it’s weird it’s never happened.”
“So, I’ve decided I may have to approach Rod at some point,” she continued. “He may not answer my call though.”
