Lexie O’connor
Lexie O’conors recent split from the band: ‘The Plastic Police’ made shocking headlines over past few weeks as the band was due to preform at the O2 arena for a sell-out gig in December. Fans are shocked and devastated at the news and want an answer. Here it is! Lexie speaks exclusively to ‘ PLAY ‘ magazine about what happened to the band, her plans on becoming a top solo artist and plans for the future.
- So Lexie…these past few weeks have got the whole world talking, the media have been going wild and pictures of your face dominate every front-page cover. So, what was your reason for spiltting up with the girls from “The Plastic Police’?
‘I love the girls to pieces, we’ve had some amazing memories and I will treasure them. I guess the reason for me leaving is that, I just want a change, I feel the music industry is evolving and that there was no place for our genre of pop-music. As Frankie was the lead singer, I felt I couldn’t express myself and that the band was holding me back from reaching my potential.’
- What do you think of all the media attention?
“To be honest with you, i wasn’t expecting the media to be as cruel, the other day I was driving back from recording my new single: ‘Painful Past’ which is out in February. A group of paparazzi launched onto my car bonet! I nearly had an accident! I guess they just need a picture of me looking bad, my recent departure from one of the top girl bands is big news I guess.”
- Some sources say you and Frankie had a huge argument outside a hotel in Los Angelies, is this true?
[shocked]“What? That’s crazy! No that never happened, I invited the girls including Frankie to the hotel to talk things over. These past few weeks have been mad and I didn’t want to leave my girls with any hard feelings, they are all very talented girls.”
-Now you’ve left ‘The Plastic Police’..what’s your next step?
“I’m taking things slow for a while, getting my feet back on the ground. I will be realeasing a new album in May 2011 called: ‘Tainted hearts” Which I’m hoping will be a success. Also I’m hoping to spend a lot of time with my wonderful husband Chase!”
- We all are despereate to ask the question: are we expecting a new O’connor addition to the family?
“Aren’t you all nosey! [laughs] Chase and I have been talking about it, I very much want to start a family. Hopefully once my career is settled we can start the planning!”0
