The Corrs have spoken out about the huge pressure on women to look good and how people have become “obsessed” with the aging process.
The family band made up of siblings Sharon, Andrea, Caroline and Jim have just made a come back onto the music scene after a 10-year hiatus, and have admitted that they don’t like how there is such a huge focus on looks in the music industry.
“There is a lot of pressure on women though… the ageing process. People are obsessed with it,” Caroline said.

“It’s such a compliment to us when people say ‘oh you guys look great for your age’. It’s lovely.
“But you do realise that there is a massive focus on that nowadays, and I think it’s really difficult, especially for women who would like to just grow old gracefully and not have that focus but it is always there and that’s just the way it is,” she told the Press Association.
Sharon also admitted that she thinks people underestimated the musical abilities of herself and her sisters due to their famous good looks.

“I do think that people tended a little bit to look at the girls and think possibly we weren’t writing… and yet that was probably never a question when you look at a guy,” she added.
The Corrs new album White Light is out on November 27, and they will play concerts across the UK and Ireland in January.
