Carlisle, who gained fame as the lead vocalist of the Go-Go's, paired dark trousers with a black sweater and flat-soled shoes. She wore her straight, strawberry blonde tresses loose and cascading across her shoulders.

Belinda Carlisle (pictured) turned heads on Saturday as the Heaven Is A Place On Earth hitmaker strode through the Sydney Airport arrivals terminal dressed in head-to-toe black In an interview with People last year, Belinda spoke about facing ageism in the music industry. 'I'm an older singer now and I have to really do a lot of prep,' she explained ahead of her US summer leg of her Decades tour. 'It used to be that I took my voice for granted and I don't at all anymore.
' 'I'm just really lucky that I'm still out there doing it, but I have to take care,' she continued. 'I mean, when I'm on the road, I travel with three humidifiers, and I have all these rituals that I do just to keep my voice healthy when I'm working,' she added.

She explained that her experience with facing ageism in the music industry influenced her decision in taking a break from her career. 'I was dropped by my record company when I turned 40 and singing was the only thing I really knew how to do,' she explained. 'Of course I was mortified and panicking,' she recalled.
'But then I thought, "Well, who am I?" It began like the most interesting part of my life — I'd always been defined by what I do, so I knew that there was more to that.' 'What I thought at first was a disaster ended up being a huge gift,' she said about the journey. A few months earlier, Carlisle returned to pop music and released her new EP titled Kismet — which is a critically-acclaimed, five-song collaboration with award-winning songwriter Diane Warren — on May 12.
