Sia news: Why does she always cover her face?

Australian singer and songwriter, who goes only by the name of Sia, has avoided the bright lights that usually come with fame ever since her career began. This is definitely evident in her constant attempt to hide her face by wearing decorative head gear, or exaggerated wigs to conceal her facial features. Despite her already long-running career in the music business, fans and the media still question Sia's attempts to stay away from the spot light.

There are many speculations as to why Sia constantly covers her face. According to Allure, the Australian hit maker, whose full name is Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, is highly aware of the sacrifices that come with being instantly recognizable due to fame. In the opinion piece, it seems that Sia is interested in creating music that is loved by millions all over the world — but at the same time, would love to go out in public just as any normal person would.

Sia is already 42-years-old and is married with children. Before achieving tremendous fame in 2010, it was revealed that she used to perform live without any of the gimmicks that her fans are now used to seeing. It is notable to mention, however, that before 2010, she was not as famous as she is now — which is a significant footnote since she comes from the land Down Under. Prior to her success, she was just another performer.

It is no secret that Sia did not always have the recent success that she has had. In fact, when she was younger, she revealed that she struggled with drugs and alcohol abuse after what she describes as a "mediocre career." Fortunately for her, all that has changed, and she even made an appearance during the finale of the TV singing contest, "The Voice," where she performed her Christmas song titled "Snowman."
