What happened with singer Enya?

A star of popular Celtic music from the late 80s and early 90s, Enya is celebrating her 61st birthday and she has completely withdrawn from the public eye. She holds the title of the richest musician in the history of Ireland with $ 150 million in her account, which is why she is financially secure for the rest of her life. She achieved world fame with the song 'Orinoco Flow' which she released in 1988.

Eny's life intrigues many, especially her fans, which she won with the hits 'Only Time', 'Echoes in Rain' and 'Wild Child'. The musician, whose real name is Eithne Patricia Ni Bhraonain, is inaccessible to the public and she is living in the Victorian Manderley Castle near Dublin since 1997. She bought it for three million euros.

Her first neighbor is Bono Vox and she has only appeared in public three times in the last 10 years, but she herself has revealed that she loves to travel so she is obviously ‘well disguised’. She was last seen at the end of February 2020 at the BAFTA Awards. Eny allegedly lives surrounded by about 10 cats. She has released two albums in the last 10 years and that is what she is completely dedicated to. Her only help in filming is an anonymous elderly couple. Enya can spend months on one detail from a song so it’s not uncommon for her producers to end up with 500 copies of just one part of the song.

‘I was in the studio for three years, working on an album. Before that, I took a break of about three years, something I had never done before, but I needed it, the music needed it, ' she said in an interview in 2017. 

'I traveled. I bought a property in the south of France and made massive renovations on it. I have a family in Australia so I devoted myself to traveling, and hanging out with family and time flew by. But I felt like I had renewed my creative side for music, 'she added. Then she admitted that she adores the popular series 'Breaking Bad' and 'Boys from Madison'. Her uncle Noel Dugan told the Sunday Times that Enya lives as a queen or as a hermit and that her family does not see her often. The singer recorded a video for Mother's Day 2020.
