Doro Pesch , who is about to release an album of new songs, was asked about a possible retirement, which she revealed is not in her plans.
In an interview with Belgian Jasper ( via Blabbermouth ), the singer said: “I spend 24 hours a day thinking about new songs, the album, the tour, the festivals. There is no other life. I grew up with horses and I miss having pets in my life… But for me, I made up my mind at 24.”
She recalls the moment she realized she wanted to make a living from music: “I lived in Manhattan for 20, 25 years. One day I woke up and thought, ‘Okay, today I want to choose my priorities,’ and then it became very clear. I want to live for music and nothing else. And then everything was fine.”
At 59, the singer explains how her professional decisions have impacted her personal life: “I’m so happy I made that decision, because before I thought, ‘Yes, I want to have this and I want to have pets, horses and dogs, and maybe I want to have children and maybe I want to have a husband.’ But you can’t. You have to make a decision, in my case, and that’s why I never got married. I don’t have children, but I have all the fans and I feel like we’re one big family. And I always feel so good in every country, in every city. And that’s definitely a dream. How to make music for so long. Oh, I didn’t think we’d do this for more than five, six, seven years.”
