October 3, 200618 yr Well, mine is pretty much every newspaper and magazine article I could find on it. I'll work on a biography now.
October 3, 200618 yr From the little girl with the big voice to an Internationally reknowned singer with more than 14 million record sales, Anastacia Lyn Newkirk has come a long, long way, and the road has been far short of easy. Anastacia was born with her feet already deeply in the entertainment business. Her mother was a theatre actress and her father a nightclub singer, so it’s perhaps inevitable that she would eventually take to the stage herself despite early dreams of becoming an archaeologist. Entering her teenage years, lift was about to make a shift for the worse for Anastacia. Not long after her parents divorce and her uplifted life haveing moved to New York, Anastacia was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when she was still only 13. Unluckily for the young Anastacia, the news of her illness was to be the best part of the process. From there on in, Anastacia's life was turned upside down with numerous hospital visits and culminated in a serious operation to remove part of her colon. Still sporting the large scar to this day, she refuses to have it airbrushed out in any magazine photos and prefers to openly discuss how such a scary time in her life made her a stronger person; "I have a big scar on my stomach and would never hide it. Crohn's can be debilitating, but I am lucky to be in the two to three per cent of sufferers who are relatively healthy. I have Crohn's friends who have been in and out of hospital, or have colostomy bags and some have died. I think I got it so young that I incorporated it into my way of living, enabling me to become stronger†Eventually appearing in music videos such as Salt n Peppas ‘Twist and Shout’, Anastacia received her first taste of the pop world, and decided that it was exactly for her. The Anastacia fans know today has changed little since her younger days. Whilst working on her pop career, Anastacia was fired from a beauty salon for being "Too Loud." However, it was here when MTV's "A Cut" was suggested to the young hopeful. The rest as they say is history. In 2000, Anastacia released her first album entitled ‘Not That Kind’ and international fame was now a stones throw away. Numerous awards came her way and her stardom continued to grow, eventually leading to a break in the USA when she appeared on VH1 Divas Las Vegas show alongside International superstars such as Céline Dion, Cher, The Dixie Chicks and Shakira. Anastacias's second album ‘Freak Of Nature’ was even more of a boom than her first. Things were looking rosey for Anastacia and it seemed her hard work had eventually paid off. With record sales, by this stage, in excess of 10 million units, people were becoming aware of Anastacias booming voice and wacky personality. Then suddenly in January 2003, her entire life was thrown into turmoil once again when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the young age of 30. The world almost mourned at the heartwrenching news of her cancer, but Anastacia reassured everyone she was back and she had learned a few more valuable life lessons in the process of recovering from cancer. Instead of taking it easy after her operation, Anastacia was hard at work. Fans from round the world feared for Anastacia. Letters and emails pored in telling the young star that it didn't matter if she was never to sing again, just as along as she was well. Her frans, sang back to Anastacia with things such as "You'll Never Be Alone." It was then Anastacia realised just how successful she was; not in terms of sales, but the hearts she had touched. Anastacia had not only managed to pour her heart and soul into a new album which expressed more than ever her inner feelings about her health battles, but she’d also managed to set up a fund known as The Anastacia Fund which aimed to help target awareness of breast cancer in younger women and those with no family history of the disease. She was coming back with something to say but now, it wasn’t just about entertainment it was about education. Anastacia has since her battle with cancer been on a mission to educate and to support those who suffer breast cancer. As she herself states: “if there is anything that I've learned from this experience it is to get a mammogram early. Even if not covered by insurance, give up that pair of shoes, don't go out for that expensive dinner – get a mammogram.†Many of her recent concerts have had merchandise for sale whose profits go directly to The Anastacia Fund and her ‘Survivor Chick’ gear has become one of the most popular ways of donating to the fund. The single ‘Heavy on my Heart’ donated all profits from sales to the Anastacia fund. Currently taking a small break from the showbiz world, Anastacia has announced that she is to marry Bodyguard Wayne Newton, rather like a real life movie scene. Wayne vowed to "protect her forever," and i'm sure that her fans have unlimited happiness and wish Anastacia and Wayne happy with their new life. Preliminary reports say that Anastacia has planned a new album for 2007 and a tour would be expected not long after. The world is waiting with breath that is bated.
