Lennox: 'Marriage not for me'

Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox has pledged she will never wed again - because she doesn't understand the point of marriage.

Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox has pledged she will never wed again - because she doesn't understand the point of marriage.

The 53-year-old married Hare Krishna monk Radha Raman in 1984, only to divorce him a year later, and in 1988 she wed Israeli film producer Uri Fruchtmann - the father of her two daughters, Lola, 17, and Tali, 15 - before splitting with him in 2000.

After two failed marriages, the Scottish star has sworn off matrimony altogether.

She explains: "No more marriage for me. I don't see the point of it. It's not that I'm such a cynic. To share one's life with someone is a beautiful thing.

"But for the moment, I'm a single person. That's not to say I wouldn't like to have a special relationship with someone.

"But I haven't made a great job of it in the past. It would be pretty challenging to share my world. Life is pretty full."
