Annie Lennox is a class act. 💯🌹🔥🎈

[@PatrickReynolds-st4tm]

Love her soooo much. Just a astoundingly beautiful being. Met her twice and so kind and generous of spirit.

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Just a girl from the coast of Aberdeen. And like Mary Shelly, painted with words, the Horror, and Beauty of love. I can't believe it's been 31 year since Anne, David, and Queen lit the night on fire for Freddie. All my love Gal.

Annie Rocks !!!!

[@aprilosborn6034]

The Eurythmics's were great in the 80's , 'Sweet Dreams', an 'Here comes the rain again', I was young, but could appreciate her voice, I never forgot it, Annie Lennox has a great gift. Dan, Thank You!

[@chadb4255]

What a goof drilling in on her pain when she obviously did not want to focus there. Love her

[@Cherielovesmusic89]

She responded to him with incredible class! Love her!

[@stuartdamon3610]

Huge fan of Annie, and Dan! ❤️❤️

[@clipperbob960]

Wow, she gave me goosebumps when she started singing. How amazing would it be to have your "instrument" with you at all times. Oh, and notice no Autotune, backtrack, or lip sinking.

[@lakid9749]

Does she age ! My god she looks amazing like the 80’s Wow 😊

[@SHERmusician]

Wow what a fKN treat

[@joem6859]

Kind of always liked Dan but that question about her bed partners?? really??

[@elizabethconnolly3260]

Didn’t he say “too many bed partners.” Even worse!!!

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

She deflected it like a champ though. Good for her.

[@efogg3]

❤❤

[@moonshiner258]

Stable. 🖖

[@SHERmusician]

Can’t people say wow amazing. He can laugh?

[@sanctuary70]

ARETHA DID NOT SING WITH ANYONE: ANNIE LENNOX WAS THE ONE! Aretha- "go for it girl! Go for it! The white SOUL SISTER FROM ABERDEEN! Man the way she just hurled that song Acapella with vibrato ! This woman DOES NOT age! In her own words - " Aging ,but still raging." ANNIE LENNOX, my favourite singer-songwriter ARTISTE of ALL-TIME. 🎶💖🕶

[@SHERmusician]

Lol too many partners haha

[@cecilia_mackie]

I love you! Reach out to me.

[@123spleege]

very crass and unexpected question from Rather about partners. Just plain crass......

[@Paulol403]

Interesting she doesn't have a standard heavy Scottish accent. It doesn't even much Scottish. easy peasy

[@mjd111]

Really, would Dan use this same kind of condescending wording & tone re bed partners if he was speaking with a famous Male singer 🤦🤷

[@cecilia_mackie]

Hey! That’s awesome! Shall we be friends?
