Shirley Bassey slams Charlotte Church

Published Tuesday, Jul 5 2005, 15:23 BST | By Kris Green
Dame Shirley Bassey has voiced her disappointment over Charlotte Church, claiming that she has “let herself down.???

The Welsh Bond singer told the Daily Telegraph: “Charlotte Church? She needs to take a long rest – a year off to go away and think. Because she has made a very bad choice moving into rock music. She was once the classical voice of an angel. Not now.

“I think Charlotte has let herself down. When I was that age, there was no such thing as binge drinking. It was totally different. We had an adventure…," she continued. "We used to say, ‘Let’s go to a dance and see what gorgeous fellows we can meet.’ Now, girls like Charlotte say, ‘Let’s go and see how many drinks we can knock back.’ I think it is dreadful."

She added: “You know, if they live to 30 or 35, they’ll know all about it then. You damage the liver and it is not good for the voice. Terrible!???
