I remember reading an interview with her in Smash Hits magazine when I was about 12 or 13.
She said she had a massive crush on Michael Hutchence and went to see him in concert but couldn't do anything about it because her husband was with her.
Even at such a tender age I thought it was a rather insensitive thing to say. They divorced shortly afterwards apparently.
POP icon Belinda Carlisle says she is surprised to still "have a nose" after 25 years of cocaine abuse.
One of the biggest female singers of the 1980s, Carlisle has also revealed she dated Aussie rock star Michael Hutchence, describing the INXS frontman of having "a charisma I have never really seen in anyone else".
In a candid interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Carlisle, who is touring Australia for the first time in eight years, performing at league and RSL clubs, said drugs, parties and endless debauchery became the norm.
"I'm surprised I have a nose, honestly, and a brain that actually works most of the time," she said.
"For me, it came down to a matter of life and death.
"I'm surprised I never ended up in jail, because I really should have been quite a few times with the things I did, which aren't revealed in the book."
Carlisle, 52, gave up cocaine six years ago and last year wrote about her superstar lifestyle in the autobiography Lips Unsealed.
"Those days of debauchery are behind me."
She also spoke of her little-known, short-term relationship with Hutchence in 1984. The pair remained close friends until his death in 1997.
"It was more friendship, but I guess you could say romance," she said.
"He had a charisma I've never really seen in anyone else, and I've met a lot of famous people.
"There was a moment in 1984 when I had a flash that he wasn't long for this earth. I saw him about two weeks before he died, and that sparkle, that thing he had, was totally gone. So I wasn't really surprised (when he died)."
Hutchence, a notorious womaniser, was a better friend than lover, Carlisle said.
"I think it was impossible for him to be a good boyfriend. He's not the kind of person for that. If you had expected that, you would have been very disappointed. He was a heartbreaker, totally.
"I was smart enough not to be too serious about someone like that, because he'd just break your heart."
OH BELINDA!

Smash Hits with the scoop though, tip journalism there I think we can all agree.
Michael Hutchence was a proper dude though and a beautiful looking human being.
I doubt many women could resist him back then. He couldn't even resist wanking himself to death and I guess we all understood, in a way.

I honestly thought number 5 was Biggins on a wind up and I actually punched the air....
