Dave Stewart plays down chances of Eurythmics reunion: “It’s too late”
Dave Stewart says a full Eurythmics reunion is unlikely, describing it as “too late” after years apart from Annie Lennox. His comments highlight how the duo’s different lives and Lennox’s reluctance to tour have limited the prospect of returning to regular performances.
The pair formed in 1980 and first split in 1990, later reuniting from 1999 to 2005; since then, they have appeared together only occasionally, including at their 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Stewart said their communication had dwindled over the past two years and that Eurythmics songs are demanding to sing for a long show. Lennox said in 2020 that she preferred one-off appearances, which let them celebrate together before returning to their separate lives.
In short
- Stewart says a full Eurythmics reunion is now unlikely.
- He says he and Lennox have drifted apart.
- Lennox has favoured occasional one-off appearances.
Explained simply
Eurythmics are a British pop duo formed by musician Dave Stewart and singer Annie Lennox in 1980. Their best-known songs include “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” and “There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)”.
The duo first split in 1990 and reunited for a period from 1999 to 2005. Since then, they have occasionally appeared together, including at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
A reunion would involve both artists returning to regular performances after years pursuing separate lives and work. Lennox has said she prefers one-off appearances, and the songs can be demanding to perform over a full show.
