In 1984 Annie married Radha Raman, a Hare Krishna and a vegetarian cook who was part of the band’s tour entourage. Her decision to marry shocked everyone around her. Her father advised her not to do it and Stewart had a meltdown. They needn’t have worried. The union was short-lived and by the following year they were divorced. The divorce signaled the end of her interest in the Hare Krishna faith.

Annie has often said that the more unhappy she is, the more creative. The 1985 album Be Yourself Tonight, which contained material written after her divorce, was a massive commercial and artistic success, charting in the top ten and spawning a number of hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic.

Be Yourself Tonight was a departure from Eurythmics’ previous work, which had been squarely centred on Annie’s voice and Stewart’s mastery in the studio. This album featured a number of guest performers. Elvis Costello joined Annie on the song ‘Adrian’, Stevie Wonder played harmonica on ‘There Must be an Angel’ and Aretha Franklin sang the duet ‘Sisters are Doing it for Themselves’ with Annie. ‘Would I Lie to You?’, another hit from the album, was nominated for no less than five awards in the 1985 MTV awards.
