She wanted to focus on the family
The magazine ‘New!’ She explained: “I had a glimpse of this level of fame and it had a lot of ugly aspects. The ugliness of fame was evident in many ways, the way it makes people lonely. At the time, I doubted what could bring more fame to my life because it only caused isolation and loneliness in Michael’s life. I didn’t want to live like that. ”
The 59-year-old, who has two children with her husband Hal Fowler, then ended her pop career and lived a quiet, family life before returning to the stage after a few years.
In the interview, Kim continues: “I was looking for more meaning in life and found it through my husband, my family and my garden. Now I have a wonderful balance of family life, closeness to nature and the beloved live performances. ”(Bang)
