What happened to Dido?
She was one of the biggest stars on earth a few years ago, now I don't know where she has gone.
I loved 'White Flag'. |

Didos, like their close relatives, are now extinct.

Maybe she got her money and retired in her twenties. Good on her. Wish I'd done that instead of a boring office job.

she did a one off song with a.r. rahman for the movie `127 hours` and that was nominated for an oscar last year. she also had a baby last year, so i suppose she`s enjoying motherhood at the moment.

On all accounts she is gonna start writing again, really hope so, the UK seriously needs a decent quality solo female singer like dido.

![]() Anyway she has never been that intersting and her pivital success was the public liking nice bands with nice music like Coldplay promblem with Dido she waited to long for a new album and we forgot about her and got better more talented and less dull people in the interim like Amy Winehouse. She was meant to be in the middle of a new album but having just had a child probs won't materialise quite soon which is a shame as on occasion she makes good backround easy listening. |

I don't think she really cares about music or living the celeb lifestyle anymore. She made her many, many multi-millions and is just living life and being a mother now as an incredibly wealthy and privileged women. She is supposed to be recording a 4th album but I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't come to anything for years.
I think I read a report a couple of years ago that her record label were suing her because they had this massive artist who wouldn't record anything and she was breaching her contract. Can anyone remember that? |

I remember her song Thank You. It was played everywhere! Can't say I was a fan though.

Laura Marling is better than Dido in my opinion. They are both different though.

I dont class any of those artists you listed anywhere near the class and quality of dido.
Dido is lovely but the epitome of Coffee table music. |

![]() ![]() I certainly think there has been a big hole in the UK market since Dido stopped making music, just would like to see her writing again and of course she had a voice of an angel. |

Like many people I dont really know much about laura Marling but dont think she has done enough to even be talked about alongside dido.

After doing a quick google search I can't find anything about it, nor with a DS search (which is where I'm sure I read it during one of my random name searchs last year), so my mind must have just made it up!
