Why does Sia cover her face?

Despite her stardom, Sia makes it a point to hide her face at red-carpet events, concerts, performances, and other occasions that are on camera.

While speaking with James Corden on The Late Late Show, she revealed: “I don’t wear this if there aren’t cameras around. I only wear this to maintain a modicum of privacy.

“I was a singer for like 10 or 11 years to mediocre success, and I was an alcoholic and a drug addict.

“I sobered up and decided I didn’t want to be an artist anymore, because I was starting to become a little bit famous, and it was destabilizing in some way.”

The Chandelier singer echoed similar sentiments to Nightline and shared: “I thought, ‘What doesn’t exist in pop music at the moment?’

“I don’t want to be critiqued about the way that I look on the Internet.

“I’ve been writing pop songs for pop stars now for a couple of years and I’ve become friends with them and see what their life is like and that’s not something I want.”

On October 4, 2019, Furler revealed she has been suffering from a chronic illness called Eahlers-Danlos.

On Twitter, the singer told fans: “Hey, I’m suffering with chronic pain, a neurological disease, Ehlers danlos and I just wanted to say to those of you suffering from pain, whether physical or emotional, I love you, keep going.

“Life is f**king hard. Pain is demoralizing, and you’re not alone.”

What is Sia’s most famous song?
