Anastacia fears undergoing laser eye surgery was a “big mistake”.
Anastacia doesn’t need to wear her trademark glasses any more
The 57-year-old pop star is known for her trademark glasses but she doesn’t need to wear them any more after having a corrective procedure back in 2005 – however, Anastacia has continued to wear her specs anyway because she’s convinced her face doesn’t look right without them.
She told The Times newspaper: “Although I wore corrective glasses for most of my life, I decided to get lasered in 2005.
“I wanted to know what it was like to wake up and see. Big mistake. My face is built for glasses. Look at the size of my nose!
“I’m back wearing glasses, even though I don’t need them.”
In the interview, the I’m Outta Love star opened up about living in Denver, Colorado with her mother, sister and brother. Anastacia confessed she’s a “clean freak” and is obsessed with dusting and using her steam mop.
She also revealed she has trouble sleeping and tries to watch a “trashy series” to help her drift off every night, but she’s determined to see the positive side of her sleepless nights.
Anastacia told the publication: “When you play a big show and there’s all that adrenaline in your system, it’s OK to fall asleep at crazy o’clock.
“But I have real problems getting to sleep every day. I pray the trashy series I’m streaming will help me drift off. It never does. Ah, so what?
“If I’m still awake in the morning I get to see another sunrise. You always have to see the positive.”
It comes after the singer recently urged anyone fighting cancer to embrace the “good days”.
The singer – who battled breast cancer in 2003 and 2013 after being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease as a teenager – wants to “make a difference” in the lives of others by offering advice from her own health struggles over the years.
She told OK! magazine: “I want to help people know that even if you have cancer, Crohn’s disease … the more you let it occupy your thoughts on a regular basis, you are not living in the moment.
“What I try to do is make a difference in other people’s lives, give them hope and faith that what they’re going through is not forever.
“There’s ebbs and flows, just allow your good day to be OK. If the bad day comes, don’t shun it – it probably needs to happen.”
After her second cancer diagnosis, the Left Outside Alone hitmaker set up the Anastacia Fund to raise money for awareness of breast cancer in young women.
She added: “I will do it forever.”
