Sia talks privacy

Sia, known for her media-shy ways appeared on James Corden’s The Late Late Show on Tuesday and spoke about why she chooses to hide her face in public as much as possible, especially while performing on stage.

The Elastic Heart singer said, “I only wear this just to try and maintain a modicum of privacy. I was a singer already for ten or eleven years to mediocre success. I was an alcoholic and a drug addict and I sobered up and decided I didn’t want to be an artist anymore because I started to get a little bit famous and I was destabilising in some way.”

She added, “So I decided what didn’t exist in pop music at this moment and it was mystery. I mean there’s pictures of everyone on Instagram at the dentist.”
