Lulu bravely shared her struggles with alcohol addiction, revealing that she once believed she was a flawed individual. The renowned singer, who is known for hits like “Shout,” opened up about her challenges during an emotional moment on a podcast hosted by Busted frontman Matt Willis.
The 75-year-old musician, who shares a son named Jordan with her ex-husband John Frieda, spoke candidly about her battle with alcohol dependency. Lulu, who has been sober since November 3, 2013, admitted that she initially grappled with feelings of inadequacy before realizing that alcoholism is a disease that can be overcome.
In a recent podcast appearance with psychotherapist Julia Samuel, Lulu shared insights into her relationship with her son. She revealed that Jordan finds it too painful to listen to her interviews but acknowledged that they have grown closer over time. Despite regrets about certain aspects of her past, Lulu expressed gratitude for Jordan’s forgiveness and understanding.
Jordan, who initially pursued a career in entertainment by portraying Prince William in a TV film, later transitioned into the restaurant industry. He now successfully operates three Italian eateries, is married to Alana Rice, and is a proud father of two children. Lulu sees this phase of her life as an opportunity to make amends and cherishes the chance to be present for her grandchildren.
The singer reflected on her journey to self-acceptance and credited Jordan for his kindness and forgiveness. Despite their past challenges, Lulu and her son have found common ground and continue to nurture their relationship with love and understanding.
