Nineties popstar completely unrecognisable 25 years after number one song

Tori Amos looks completely different 25 years after her UK number one Professional Widow from 1996.

The smash hit song appeared on the star's Boys For Pele album with a remix by Armand van Helden.

The song became a club classic after being released as Professional Widow (It's Got to Be Big).

It became an era defining classing with it's recognisable intro of "Honey bring it close to my lips, yeah."

However Tori still has her love for music and works in the industry.

The popstar is still touring as well as making music as she recently celebrated her 59th birthday.

Tori shared a clip to her Instagram page where she tipped her hat and winked into the camera.

The nineties celeb is still rocking her trademark red hair in the video.

She was inundated with comments from friends and fans wishing her a happy 59th birthday.

One person wrote: "Happy Birthday, you treasure! Thank you for all that you do."

While a second fan commented: "Happy birthday! Thank you always for your music and messages-you have connected us all and for that we are truly grateful!"

Another said: "Happy birthday Tori! Thank you for all you do for all of us- bringing us hope, light, strength and love. Thank you for the beautiful memories and for giving me hope because I know there will be more beautiful memories to come," as someone added: "We love you, Tori!"

A fifth wrote: "Happy belated 59th born day you truly age like fine wine, hope you enjoyed it to the fullest!"

Tori has recently finished a tour in North America and is set to start a European tour in Brussels next year.

The American tends to divide her time between the US and the UK.

Tori spent her lockdown at her home in Bude in Cornwall but often flies over to Florida in the US.

She is often inspired when in her 300 year old Cornish barn which is where she wrote and recorded her 16th album Ocean to Ocean which was released last autumn.

Tori first found fame in the early nineties when she released her 1992 album Little Earthquakes, following it with 1993's Under The Pink, which reached No1 in the UK.

Over her career Tori has managed to produce three Top 10 singles which include Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big), Pretty Good Year and Cornflake Girl, which spent seven weeks in the chart.

Tori tied the knot in 1998 with Mark Hawley, an English sound engineer and the pair share a 22-year-old daughter together.
