“The career of Cilla Black, who died after a fall at her home on Spain’s Costa del Sol in August 2015, provided a definitive illustration of the experiences of many female singers who, as they get older, are obliged to seek an alternative role in the entertainment industry. In Black’s case, it was a spectacularly successful transition. After a decade or more as one of Britain’s leading pop stars, she survived a fallow period before reinventing herself as a popular television host and arguably enjoyed even greater fame” (Ian Inglis, Popular Music and Society, 2016).
