Influential ‘80s singer makes first public appearance in 8 years
Iconic Irish singer Enya spends most of her time in her massive £98 million ($131 million) Victorian castle near Dublin.
However, the "Only Time" singer ditched her mostly reclusive lifestyle for a rare public appearance — the first in eight years.
Enya, 64, was spotted when she attended a wedding at Drumhalla House in Donegal, Ireland on May 16, according to a Facebook post from the Donegal Dancers.
"What a honour it was to perform at Sean and David's wedding last night in @drumhallahouse ," the post read.
"There may be a couple familiar faces in the first pic," it read. "Some of you may know them as the World Famous Clannad & ENYA. What a privilege to have them in the crowd last night."
Enya was last seen in public when she attended the Grammy Awards in 2017, The Sun reported . Reddit fans expressed their excitement to see the singer in public after so long.
"She looks great after another decade! And her outfit, of course, is totally Enya coded," one user commented.
Another user said the singer "looks so lovely here," but added, "girl drop the mixtape already omg it's been 10 years."
With more than 80 million albums sold worldwide, Enya is the best-selling Irish solo artist and second-best-selling music act from Ireland overall behind rock band U2.
After achieving initial success in her home country, Enya became a worldwide sensation through her international hit single "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)" off her 1988 sophomore album "Watermark."
The vocalist released the multi-million-selling albums "Shepherd Moons," "The Memory of Trees," and "A Day Without Rain" in the following decade. The latter project was supported by its lead single "Only Time," which reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2001.
Enya's subsequent releases included "Amarantine" in 2005, "And Winter Came..." in 2008 and "Dark Sky Island" in 2015. The singer has not put out her own music ever since.
