The Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs turned 65 in January and celebrated with a makeup-free photo of herself on Instagram. “I’m 65. Yeah, time marches on, but it’s all good. No make-up,” she said. Fans were delighted to see their favorite singer looking stunning in her 60s and filled the comments with praise.
Hoffs founded The Bangles in 1981 alongside Annette Zilinskas and siblings Debbi and Vicki Peterson. The group is known for ‘80s hits like “Manic Monday,” “Walk Like an Egyptian,” “In Your Room,” and “Eternal Flame.” Hoffs has a thriving solo career with multiple albums, including her latest, The Deep End.
Hoffs captioned the photo, “Older BUT wiser! #65.” Actress Michelle Pfeiffer wished her “65 years of awesomeness,” while another fan added, “You look great!!!!!!!! Timeless, forever. Happy Birthday!” More compliments followed, particularly about her “amazing beautiful” smile.
Irish songwriter and TV personality Imelda May quipped, “You are so beautiful inside and out. Happy Birthday! XX.”
“Looking absolutely gorgeous. And that smile.. all your talent.. have a great one,” another follower agreed. Hoffs assured viewers that “getting older is okay” because it meant she was wiser. “It’s going to be okay…it really is. Older and wiser,” she said.
As a founding member of The Bangles, Hoffs was the brain behind some of their biggest songs until their last album in 2011; however, one of her works, “Eternal Flame,” got rejected at first. “The band rejected that song, and I was bereft over it, I was mortified,” she admitted. “I was really excited about it, but then we had this band meeting about our third album, Everything, and it was rejected.”
The 1988 release, “Eternal Flame,” meant so much to Hoffs regardless that she “had taken the cassette everywhere with me, asking people if I could show them the new song I’d just written.” Thankfully, the producer eventually decided to include the track on Everything. “And I’m like, ‘Yes! Please, please.’” Hoffs recalled. It went on to chart in several countries like the US, the UK, Australia, Ireland, Sweden and the Netherlands.
