Describing how she had daily calls with her son Charley while he was attending university in Arizona, Louise went on to say that “all of my energy goes into my boys and my job”.
She also shared an amusing anecdote about taking her son Beau on the school run.
“I have strict instructions from him to stay in the car, especially if I’m in flip-flops,” she explained. “The worst case scenario, which happens surprisingly often, is when one of my songs comes on the radio as we approach the school gates.
“Beau obviously finds this mortifying and says, ‘Just park around the corner. Please.’”
“I’ve no idea if my boys think I’m a cool mum, but I have a great relationship with both of them and they’re super supportive of what I do.
“They don’t say too much because they’re teenagers, but I know they’re proud, which I sometimes hear when they don’t realise I’m in earshot.”
Louise joined the girl band Eternal in 1992, before going solo three years later and selling more than five million records in the UK and 15 million worldwide.
