Annie Lennox has admitted that she hates being called a celebrity - because she feels that the term is "beneath" her.
The 'Walking On Broken Glass' star insisted that she should be labeled an “artist” after winning seven Brit Awards, four Grammy gongs and an Oscar during her 25-year music career.
She told the Radio Times: "The term (celebrity) is beneath me. I'm an artist. I've done something to earn recognition."
However, she admitted that she is prepared to use her notoriety to promote a good cause, saying: "I think it's an intelligent use of fame - but you have to choose carefully and learn your subject."
