Siobhan Maire Deirdre Fahey (born September 10, 1958 in Dunshaughlin , County Meath ) is an Irish rock singer and was a founding member of the 1980s girl group Bananarama . Siobhan left the band in 1988 and started their Shakespears Sister project .
Life
As a child, she lived with her family in Germany , where her father was a soldier in the British Army. The family later returned to Great Britain, where they again moved many times while Siobhan attended a convent school in Edinburgh . At the age of 14 she moved to Hertfordshire with her family , two years later she left her parents' home and went to London .
There she attended a journalism course, where she met Sarah Dallin and Keren Woodward and founded the trio Bananarama with them and with the help of the Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook . In 1987 Fahey married Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics . The couple had two sons before separating in 1996.
In early 1988 Fahey left Bananarama and founded the solo project Shakespears Sister that same year . During the recording of the debut album Sacred Heart , she was assisted in songwriting by Marcella Detroit . The collaboration with the guitarist and singer went so well that she appeared as the second band member in the video and on the cover of the second single You're History , released in summer 1989 .
With the album Hormonally Yours , released in spring 1992, and the singles Stay and Hello (Turn Your Radio On) that was released from it , the duo achieved their greatest commercial success. However, due to personal differences, Fahey ended the collaboration with Detroit in the spring of 1993 and continued Shakespears Sister as a single project until the reunification in 2019.
After three years of musical break - u. a. Due to psychotherapy, which she underwent in the meantime, she released the single I Can Drive in mid-1996 , which only made it to number 30 in the UK charts. The planned third album # 3 was then withdrawn from the record company London Records and no longer released. It was not until the spring of 2005 that fans could buy the work on Fahey's website.
From 1996 she tried herself as an actress and there was also a brief reunion with Bananarama.
In the 2000s Fahey brought out a few singles under her real name that were heavily influenced by Electroclash . In 2009 she began performing again as Shakespears Sister and released the fourth album Songs From The Red Room in November of that year .
