She may be unrecognisable in recent pictures, but over three decades ago, she sang the chart-topping hit, All Around The World, that you just couldn’t get out of your head.

Now 58, Lisa Stansfield has swapped singing for shopping after she was spotted in London earlier this week doing some browsing with her producer husband, Ian Devaney, 59.

Never one for an overly dramatic look, the eighties icon fitted in among the other masses on Regent Street in a stylish pair of dark denim jeans with rolled up cuffs, black boots and a brown blazer.

Keeping warm in the increasingly cooler weather, the singer paired her look with a grey scarf and cosy black beenie hat.

Meanwhile, Ian paired his black Dr. Martens with matching skinny jeans, a t-shirt and a crisp charcoal blazer.

Seen holding hands as they walked down the busy street, Lisa and Ian, who have been married since 1998, looked to be sharing jokes with each other before they slipped into DJI Retail.

The love birds met in the mid-1980s at school when they both signed up to star in the school play. However, things didn’t take a romantic turn until years later as Lisa tied the knot with Italian designer Augusto Grassi.

The 1987 marriage lasted only four months, during which, Lisa returned to the UK where she and Ian reconnected over their passion for music and teamed up with friend Andy Morris, to form the band Blue Zone.

The band saw some success, but in 1989, Lisa signed her first solo deal and released her debut album, Affection, in November of that year. She kept her former bandmates close, and the trio co-wrote all the songs on the record together.

As Lisa’s career took off, so did her and Ian’s love and they eventually tied the knot in 1989 in New York City’s Washington Square Park with only her parents and his mother in attendance.

During her career, Lisa has released eight studio albums and sold over 20 million records worldwide.

She has also won three Brit awards, a Billboard Music Award, and been nominated for multiple awards, including two Grammy Awards, for her most well-known hit, All Around The World.
