📖 Annie Lennox: Retrospective is out now in the UK.
USA, Canada and ROW from 23rd Sept via @rizzolibooks

Spanning over 40 years of artistry, image-making, activism and iconic music history, this beautiful visual memoir brings together more than 200 photographs from Annie’s personal archives and iconic career, from Polaroids and portraits to music video stills and album covers.

In Annie’s own words:

“There have been thousands of photographic images floating around in the zeitgeist throughout the decades of my life as a performer. In a way, each one serves as part of the picture-puzzle narrative of my story.

With Retrospective, I wanted to look back at my life’s work lived under the public gaze, throughout the creation of music—lyrics—recordings and film.”

“Each album, video, and photograph has its own identity and style. Retrospective could actually have been presented in many different ways, with many more different images. But for now—here it is… A memento—a souvenir—A life lived through imagery and sound. I hope you enjoy it!”

Dear Friends,
I love my Jewish family and friends and find anti - semitism totally abhorrent. The events of Oct 7th 2023 were absolutely horrendous and I feel for the terrible ongoing grief and trauma endured by friends and families of the hostages, who are suffering immensely until this very day.
I am not aligned with any political party - least of all, Hammas.
My perspective is ‘humanitarian’… I care for the well being of EVERYONE caught up in this nightmarish maelstrom of abject destruction. But EVERY RED LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED, with GENOCIDE being facilitated and perpetuated every single day, with ZERO accountability.
In Tek Aviv they have fun on the beach and go dancing the clubs, while Gaza is deliberately being starved, targetted, ethnically cleansed, bombed, burned and destroyed. It all feels so utterly dystopian. Especially when you witness innocent children being slaughtered on a daily basis. NOTHING CAN JUSTIFY THESE ATROCITIES!!! #ceasefire #letgazalive #stooslaughteringchildren
@kierstarmer SHAME ON YOU!!!!

Dear Friends,
They said this all along. There was nothing ambiguous about it whatsoever.
There IS no safe zone and nowhere to go.
No words left.. Only this terrible state of foreboding.

Dear friends,
This beautiful, decent compassionate man… wheelchair bound and without sight was arrested ( I believe twice ) for peacefully sitting with 1,499 other ‘terrorists’ - for holding signs to protest against genocide!. This is the kind of Orwellian landscape Britain has become.
Keep the peaceful protests coming you beautiful decent people of heart and conscience, with a clear moral compass guiding your North Star! Tens of thousands of men, women and children are being slaughtered on a daily basis, while the government invests your tax money to manufacture parts of bombs that blast them all to pieces! You are ALL on the right side of history!!! #ceasefire #stopkillingchildren #endgenocide

Dear Friends,
Imagine being caught in Gaza in this situation. Damned if you do - damned if you don’t.
Stay and be killed or move AGAIN.. They say - to the South, where there is NOTHING but hundreds of thousands of tents.. being randomly targeted, burned to blackened ash..with families sheltering inside.
The genocidal intention has been clearly stated - Netanyahu’s ‘Amalek’. Armoured carriers filled with tons of explosives are brought into residential areas to be blown up by robots.. killing and maiming everything within their radius. The constant murderous droning of reconnaissance planes flying overhead..looking out for potential targets night and day.
The ricochet crackshot of bullets.. Bone shaking blasts from the demolition of massive high rise buildings as they collapse into the ground. They say - every Palestinian is a terrorist.. the babies and children included.
I cannot think of ANYTHING more grotesque, more sadistic, more brutal, more psychotic… more painful.

Dear Friends,
If you are a mother or father…
Look at these precious children’s eyes. Look at their little faces, numb with the shock and trauma of what they’ve just undergone. Can you even imagine how it would feel if they were YOUR children..????
How DARE ANYONE ABUSE THEM LIKE THIS!!!!
Why should ANY CHILD be forced to endure the horrors of this heinous GENOCIDE.
How could ANY sane adult human being justify or endorse this hell? Do they not deserve to live SAFE and PROTECTED lives???!!!!
I have seen photographs of BUTCHERED CHILDREN’s BODIES today that are too visceral and raw to show here. It is FAR FAR WORSE than you can possibly imagine.
So I have to ask…
KIER STARMER former human rights advocate - David Lammy - Yvette Cooper.
This is all done on YOUR WATCH. Yet you have decent people being LOCKED UP for wearing T - shirts!????
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

Dear Friends…
TWO MILLION PEOPLE IN GAZA ARE WAITING TO DIE RIGHT NOW.
Every single Palestinian in Gaza is faced with an impossible decision, either to stay in the North of the city and be killed by the invading Israeli army, or to move South and die there.
There are NO SAFE ZONES IN GAZA!!!!!

Dear Friends,
These last two years have been a learning curve.
I’ve discovered that it REALLY IS POSSIBLE for political leaders to GASLIGHT and LIE in order to manipulate the populations of entire nations.
I hadn’t realised how effective this methodology actually is…
So now that the word FAMINE has been officially given credence, soon the whole world will be able to freely use the word - GENOCIDE to describe what REALLY is taking place in Gaza. By the time the British government decide it’s safe to announce this…most Gazans will be DEAD!

@savechildrenuk - Threshold for famine has now officially been reached and declared by the IPC in Gaza.
Famine occurs when a country has such a severe food shortage that its population faces acute malnutrition, starvation, or death.
One of the three criteria for famine is that at least 30% of children are acutely malnourished
In Gaza, well over 100 Palestinian children have died because of starvation. They are being starved by design by Israeli authorities.
We have been warning about this impending tragedy for months. We knew this would happen; our political leaders can’t say they didn’t know this would happen.
We have been blocked by Israeli authorities from getting a single truck of aid into Gaza since the 2nd of March.
All available evidence indicates that the Government of Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war, and as a tool of occupation.
The solution is simple, and it can happen instantly. Israel must end its siege, open all land crossings and allow the full and unimpeded flow of aid.
THE UK GOVERNMENT CANNOT STAND BY WHILE GAZA’S CHILDREN ARE STARVED IN PLAIN SIGHT. It must use every lever at its disposal to prevent this!!
This includes suspending all arms transfer to Israel, including components for F-35 fighter jets, and holding Israel accountable for the harm inflicted on children. Until then, the UK Government will be complicity in these horrors.
I urge you to go to @savechildrenuk - sign the petition to take action! Link in my stories also
