Goldfrapp star 'not defined by sexuality'

Alison Goldfrapp has revealed that she was surprised when a newspaper printed a photo of her with film editor girlfriend Lisa Gunning.

The singer admitted that she has previously been deliberately ambiguous about her sexuality.

"That was a bit of a shocker actually, because obviously I didn't know anything about it all," she told The Times.

"I don't know why people would find it surprising. Everything we've ever done - the music, the looks, the shows - has all been quite ambiguous and undefinable, and that's how I am.

"I don't like to be defined by my sexuality, which swings wherever I like to swing. I've had lovely, long relationships with men as well. I just happen to be in a relationship with a lady at the moment.

"I don't like to be pigeonholed in my life or my music either. The best policy seems to be to go with what feels right, so I do."

Goldfrapp release new single 'Rocket' on March 8. Their new album Head First follows on March 22.
