ANNIE Lennox has said that women “don’t have to become invisible” as they get older, a month after celebrating her 64th birthday.

The Scottish singer, who continues to perform and record, said women in their 60s can “still thrive, be full of life and have fun”. The former Eurythmics vocalist told Good Housekeeping she wanted to convince people that women her age still have much to give.

She said: “I want people to realise that women of my age don’t have to become invisible. We can still thrive, be full of life and have fun, and have so much to offer.”

Lennox (pictured), an Oxfam ambassador and a vocal critic of Donald Trump, was involved in leading last year’s March4Women event in London. She said she was happy that the word “feminism” was no longer taboo and added: “My current focus is to bring the term Global Feminism into the zeitgeist. I’m so happy we can use the ‘F’ word now and talk comfortably about being feminists.

“Not so long ago, you couldn’t even get the word ‘feminist’ published as people felt uncomfortable with it. But it has come out of the shadows and everyone seems to be using it. Terminology is incredibly important.

“Global Feminism absolutely includes and welcomes men. We need men who are proud to identify with this issue.”

The March issue of Good Housekeeping, is on sale tomorrow.
