Seal on divorce: “It’s my fault. I love Heidi. Seal and Heidi Klum - a love story with a sad ending. Who is Seal the singer dating?

Seal Henry Samuel, now known to the world simply as Seal, was born in the small town of Killburn near Paddington, England. His parents were a Brazilian of African descent and a native of Nigeria. The newborn was given a name that symbolized the combination of Brazilian and British cultures. According to Brazilian tradition, the first-born male child had to be named by his grandparents. They were the ones who chose the name Seal for the baby. The parents wanted to give the child an English name. A compromise was found and the boy was named Seal Henry. When the boy was four years old, his parents separated and his mother took him in with her. For two years he lived with her and his older sister in the vicinity of London, but soon his mother fell ill and was forced to return to her homeland in Nigeria. The future musician spent the next nine years with his father.

From an early age, Sil Henry Samuel had to experience pain and suffering, which undoubtedly influenced all of his subsequent work. As a child, the future singer suffered a serious illness - skin tuberculosis, or lupus in common parlance. The deep scars on the musician's face are the consequences of this disease. The boy first performed in public at the age of eleven during a school concert, where he performed the song “Sunshiny Day” by Johnny Nash. After that, he plucked up courage and told his father that he dreamed of becoming a singer. Francis Samuel wanted his son to become a lawyer and used every means to "beat the crap out of him." As soon as he finished school, Seal ran away from home to achieve his dream. And yet, before starting his music career, he graduated from college and received a degree in architecture. In an attempt to save at least some money, Seal changed several professions, and even managed to work at McDonald's. After several years of such a life, the future musician finally decided to sing in local clubs and bars and soon, together with his first band Push, went to give concerts to distant Japan. Eastern exoticism fascinated the young performer, and the musician, who felt a taste for nomadic life, decided to take a trip to Asia. First, together with a certain blues team, he performed in Thailand, and then independently traveled around India. Returning to his native land in 1990, Seal wrote the lyrics and recorded vocals for a song written by his friend, club DJ Adamski. It was this song called “Killer” that became the starting point of Seal’s further ascent to the pinnacle of world fame.

“I remember the day “Killer” first became number one in the UK,” says the musician. “That Sunday, Adamski and I, as is tradition, were having lunch in a restaurant near Cambridge. We had our portable radio with us, and we listened carefully to the latest UK chart. I remember the previous week's number one was Madonna, and our song was at number 4. The moment we heard that Madonna had dropped to number 4, we had a hard time realizing that there would be a new one in the UK chart this week leader. But this in itself did not mean anything to us - after all, anyone could top the chart. However, after the chart leader was announced, I allowed myself to let out some incredible, one might say inhuman roar! Honestly, everyone around us adults ran to help their children. Imagine this: a black man, almost two meters tall, literally going crazy, not paying attention to the astonished audience, and this is happening in respectable Cambridgeshire! "

After his first success, the young singer gave himself time to think about his future fate.

“I spent those weeks trying to convince myself and my loved ones that I would never be able to stand working from call to call, and music is what I was born for,” the musician recalls, “But what did I hear from my family in "Answer? Only that I'm wasting my precious time trying to become a star and that I'm ruining my life."

Eventually, Seal decided to devote his life to music, and began work on his debut album. The album was produced by Trevorn Horn. Having previously produced albums for artists and bands such as Rod Stewart, Art of Noice, ABC, Frankie goes to Hollywood, he knew exactly what it took to record a successful album.

Very soon, a song called "Crazy" - the first single from an album simply called "Seal" - stormed to the top of the charts in most European countries. The first hit was followed by others: “Future Love Paradise”, “The Beginning”, “Violet” - and as a result, the debut album of a black singer, whose insinuating and clear voice sank into the souls of many music lovers, sold about a million copies in the UK and more than three and a half million copies worldwide. Along with his success with audiences, Seal also received critical acclaim. In 1992, the singer won Brit awards in several categories and was also nominated for a Grammy, which, however, he did not receive.

Seal now talks about his debut album with a condescending smile: “It was a very idealistic view of the world. The main slogan of that album could be considered something like: If we unite, we will certainly save this world. I recently returned from a long trip to Asia and was full of grandiose plans to restructure the world."

Best of the day

All the events that accompanied such a rapid success of the musician almost broke him. Sil had to face the harsh truths of life once again. The young man, who had previously suffered from panic attacks, now could not calmly go out into the street without immediately being recognized and pursued by passers-by. Fans and admirers bombarded him with letters and gifts, and little by little the gentle and friendly guy, as his friends remembered and appreciated him, turned into a dry and angry man who began to avoid even the people closest to him.

And soon almost mystical events took place in his life. In the spring of 1992, the musician went to a fortune teller, who told him that in the very near future he would have to go through a number of difficult trials. Not taking what was said to heart, and most likely simply not wanting to believe it, Seal continued to live his normal life and moved to California to record a new album. But very soon the singer became seriously ill with pneumonia, which then developed into double pneumonia. After recovery, the artist was in a car accident, barely recovering from the consequences of which, he heard from doctors that he was suffering from exhaustion of the body caused by illnesses and stress.

And yet, difficult trials and personal difficulties did not break Sil as a person and artist, but became a kind of catalyst for his next musical projects. The singer resolved earlier conflicts with his producer Trevor Horn and began work on a new album. Obviously, what happened to him in recent years was reflected in the song "Prayer for the Dying", which became the first single from the musician's second album, which, like the debut, was called "Seal". This song was literally created by the musician. He worked on it for almost four years.

According to Seal, the album became a kind of manifesto of the struggle with himself, with his ailments and the state of his soul and mind, which he had to endure in the years that separated him from the release of the album - his debut. Not a trace remained of the idealistic atmosphere of the first album on the second disc. The presence of healthy realism has become a distinctive feature of the performer’s new work. However, Seal appeared before the public not only with a new philosophy of life, but also with a new image. In 1994, noticeable changes occurred in his appearance: for the first time he appeared before the audience with a shaved head.

"Seal - II" initially did not sell as well as the debut album. The situation changed only thanks to the film "Batman Forever". The director of the film, Joel Schumacher, heard the song "Kiss from the Rose" and realized that it was perfect for his film. The song was included on the soundtrack and the single itself was re-released. Almost a year after the album's release, its sales level jumped sharply. The second edition of the single "Kiss from the Ross", in support of which a new video was shot, turned out to be much more successful than the first. The song climbed to the top of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. She topped the Billboard hit parade for 12 weeks. The total circulation of the album reached five million copies. For "Kiss from the Rose", Seal received three Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

It’s interesting that “Kiss from the Rose” was written back in 1988, and by the time of its resounding success, Seal no longer remembered under the influence of what events it was born. The musician recorded the first demo version of the song without using any musical instruments, imitating all sounds using his own voice. This happened because at that time the future singer did not yet know how to play any musical instrument well, but he had excellent command of his voice.

The singer's next album, "Human Being", was released only in 1998. The recording process took a very long time and took a lot of physical and moral strength from the musician. The recording was accompanied by constant conflicts with the producer, as well as problems with the record company. The first single from this album was the song "Human beings", which Seal wrote under the influence of the murder of rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. The song was also based on Seal's own thoughts on fame and death. Despite all the efforts, the third album did not receive as warm a reception as the first two. The musician even had to cancel the tour planned for the summer of 1998 in support of him. The reasons for this forced decision were financial problems and poor sales of concert tickets.

The artist's fourth studio album, "Togetherland", was planned for release in 2001, but unexpectedly its release was cancelled. According to Seal, neither he nor the record company Warner Bros were satisfied with the final version of the disc, and in the end the difficult, but much-needed decision in this situation was made to record a completely new album.

The musician moved from Los Angeles, where “Togetherland” was recorded, to London. Where he began his musical career. To record an album called “Seal” with Trevor Horn and regain lost ground.

"Seal IV" hit record store shelves in September 2003, five years after the release of Seal's previous album. Slowly but surely, the disc gained popularity in many European countries, and the single “Love’s divine” made it to the top positions of the charts. The musician regained the positions lost in the late 90s, managed to overcome all the difficulties that stood in his way, and emerged victorious in the fight against the difficult trials that befell him.

In June 2005, Seal recorded a special concert, which was released on CD in 2006 under the title "One Night to Remember". Recorded live at the Altes Kesselhaus (Dusseldorf, Germany) with orchestra and choir accompaniment, the disc contains a version of Brahms' Lullaby, which Seal performed in German.

Seal has performed live twice at the world-famous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The album "System" was released in November 2007. Seal described it as more danceable, somewhat of a return to the style of his first album. Seal performed the song “Wedding Day” as a duet with his wife Heidi Klum. The first single from the album, "Amazing", was released in September 2007 and was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance".

Despite the fact that at different periods of his work the singer turned to different musical directions, essentially all this time he remained true to himself. Seal himself calls his music soul - music that comes from the depths of the soul. When asked why his albums are released so rarely, he replies: “In order to record songs, I need real inspiration, and not strict deadlines set before me.”

The singer draws his inspiration from numerous travels around the world. It’s as if he wants to absorb the beauty and uniqueness of the places he managed to visit. “I try to see the beauty in everything that surrounds me and capture it in my songs,” says the musician.

Well, Seal, being a gifted singer and talented songwriter, and at the same time an interesting and strong personality, has deservedly taken his place among the most gifted musicians of our time.

Strength (Seal, full name Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel) - British singer and composer, performer of soul and R&B music, husband of a German top model Heidi Klum(Heidi Klum).

So, I erased everything that was written down and started over again.

For 25 years now, singer Sil has occupied the place that deserves him and his talent on the musical Olympus. Popularity came to him after leaving the recording studio of his first solo song, and since then has accompanied the singer everywhere. Neither inspiration nor talent has ever changed the Force, thanks to which each new song is a separate world of its own, a reflection of the singer’s experiences, unlike anything else. Millions of fans around the world, concerts and tours certainly fill up most of Seal's time, leaving little time for anything else. And admirers of talent often want to learn something new just from the “everything else” section. We all know that stars are people too, and, accordingly, their daily life is almost the same as that of most of us, but popularity and the shine of fame attract and give the feeling that their life is still much more interesting and brighter than usual, that and causes increased interest in what has little to do with creativity. Personal life Strength From the very beginning of her career, she also passed under the gaze of others.

Biography Strength in childhood and adolescence was also different from what most of us had in childhood. The singer went through life in a foster family, and through separation from his mother, and through the cruelty of his father, and through a terrible disease (lupus). As he himself admits, it was this time that strengthened his character and gave rise to that special perception of life that is reflected in his songs, although Seal prefers to remember as little as possible about this period. The adult life of the future idol of millions began at the age of 15. Before the start of his singing career, Seal’s biography also included less romantic places of work. Therefore, it would not be a great exaggeration to say that he made his own destiny.

Naturally, Sil’s charisma and attractiveness did not go unnoticed among the fair half of humanity. And he was paired with quite famous and very beautiful young ladies. The relationship between Seal and supermodel Tyra Banks lasted almost seven years, from 1996 to 2003. But, of course, most of all those around him were interested in the singer’s romance with model Heidi Klum, as a result of which Seal ceased to be a bachelor, but became an exemplary husband and father of four children - two daughters (one of whom is adopted) and two sons. This marriage was considered exemplary, the wedding anniversary was marked annually by new marriage vows, but it barely survived the ten-year mark. There were many rumors and speculations about the reasons for the divorce, although the reason lay on the surface - banal betrayal. Heidi became infatuated with her bodyguard.

Despite the divorce, Seal and his ex-wife maintain a warm and friendly relationship for the sake of their children. Seal is an unusually responsible father. Paparazzi take pictures of him incredibly often during trips with his children to Disneyland or to the stadium. And although the ex-wife often accompanies them, there is practically no hope for the reunion of this beautiful couple, because Heidi Klum has an affair with Vito Schnabel, and after the divorce, Sil was seen with more than one beauty.

Biography, life story of Seal

Winner of three Grammy awards, British singer and songwriter Seal became known to a wide range of listeners in 1990. Then the dance hit under the biting title "Killer", recorded by club DJ Adamski and the young black singer Seal, topped the British chart for four weeks in a row. The solo hit that followed, “Crazy,” which was released in early 1991, was no less successful. Since then, Seal has remained constantly on the radar of music lovers, despite the fact that he has released only four albums in 12 years. Critics note the uniqueness of his style and handwriting. In their opinion, Seal compares favorably with many show business stars, primarily in that he does not try to squeeze his songs into any specific framework, preferring to remain himself in any situation.

Seal Henry Samuel (full Seal Henry Olugesun Olumide Adeola Samuel), now known to the world simply as Seal, was born on February 19, 1963 in the small town of Killburn near Paddington, England. His parents were a Brazilian of African descent and a native of Nigeria. The newborn was given a name that symbolized the combination of Brazilian and British cultures. According to Brazilian tradition, the first-born male child had to be named by his grandparents. They were the ones who chose the name Seal for the baby. The parents wanted to give the child an English name. A compromise was found and the boy was named Seal Henry. When the boy was four years old, his parents separated and his mother took him in with her. For two years he lived with her and his older sister in the vicinity of London, but soon his mother fell ill and was forced to return to her homeland in Nigeria. The future musician spent the next nine years with his father.
From an early age, Sil Henry Samuel had to experience pain and suffering, which undoubtedly influenced all of his subsequent work. As a child, the future singer suffered a serious illness - skin tuberculosis, or lupus in common parlance. The deep scars on the musician's face are the consequences of this disease. The boy first performed in public at the age of eleven during a school concert, where he performed the song “Sunshiny Day” by Johnny Nash. After that, he plucked up courage and told his father that he dreamed of becoming a singer. Francis Samuel wanted his son to become a lawyer and used every means to "beat the crap out of him." As soon as he finished school, Seal ran away from home to achieve his dream. And yet, before starting his music career, he graduated from college and received a degree in architecture. In an attempt to save at least some money, Seal changed several professions, and even managed to work at McDonald's. After several years of such a life, the future musician finally decided to sing in local clubs and bars and soon, together with his first band Push, went to give concerts to distant Japan. Eastern exoticism fascinated the young performer, and the musician, who felt a taste for nomadic life, decided to take a trip to Asia. First, together with a certain blues team, he performed in Thailand, and then independently traveled around India. Returning to his native land in 1990, Seal wrote the lyrics and recorded vocals for a song written by his friend, club DJ Adamski. It was this song called “Killer” that became the starting point of Seal’s further ascent to the pinnacle of world fame.

“I remember the day “Killer” first became number one in the UK,” says the musician. “That Sunday, Adamski and I, as is tradition, were having lunch in a restaurant near Cambridge. We had our portable radio with us, and we listened carefully to the latest UK chart. I remember the previous week's number one was Madonna, and our song was at number 4. The moment we heard that Madonna had dropped to number 4, we had a hard time realizing that there would be a new one in the UK chart this week leader. But this in itself did not mean anything to us - after all, anyone could top the chart. However, after the chart leader was announced, I allowed myself to let out some incredible, one might say inhuman roar! Honestly, everyone around us adults ran to help their children. Imagine this: a black man, almost two meters tall, literally going crazy, not paying attention to the astonished audience, and this is happening in respectable Cambridgeshire! "

After his first success, the young singer gave himself time to think about his future fate.

“I spent those weeks trying to convince myself and my loved ones that I would never be able to stand working from call to call, and music is what I was born for,” the musician recalls, “But what did I hear from my family in "Answer? Only that I'm wasting my precious time trying to become a star and that I'm ruining my life."

Eventually, Seal decided to devote his life to music, and began work on his debut album. The album was produced by Trevorn Horn. Having previously produced albums for artists and bands such as Rod Stewart, Art of Noice, ABC, Frankie goes to Hollywood, he knew exactly what it took to record a successful album.

Very soon, a song called "Crazy" - the first single from an album simply called "Seal" - stormed to the top of the charts in most European countries. The first hit was followed by others: “Future Love Paradise”, “The Beginning”, “Violet” - and as a result, the debut album of a black singer, whose insinuating and clear voice sank into the souls of many music lovers, sold about a million copies in the UK and more than three and a half million copies worldwide. Along with his success with audiences, Seal also received critical acclaim. In 1992, the singer won Brit awards in several categories and was also nominated for a Grammy, which, however, he did not receive.

Seal now talks about his debut album with a condescending smile: “It was a very idealistic view of the world. The main slogan of that album could be considered something like: If we unite, we will certainly save this world. I recently returned from a long trip to Asia and was full of grandiose plans to restructure the world."

All the events that accompanied such a rapid success of the musician almost broke him. Sil had to face the harsh truths of life once again. The young man, who had previously suffered from panic attacks, now could not calmly go out into the street without immediately being recognized and pursued by passers-by. Fans and admirers bombarded him with letters and gifts, and little by little the gentle and friendly guy, as his friends remembered and appreciated him, turned into a dry and angry man who began to avoid even the people closest to him.

And soon almost mystical events took place in his life. In the spring of 1992, the musician went to a fortune teller, who told him that in the very near future he would have to go through a number of difficult trials. Not taking what was said to heart, and most likely simply not wanting to believe it, Seal continued to live his normal life and moved to California to record a new album. But very soon the singer became seriously ill with pneumonia, which then developed into double pneumonia. After recovery, the artist was in a car accident, barely recovering from the consequences of which, he heard from doctors that he was suffering from exhaustion of the body caused by illnesses and stress.

And yet, difficult trials and personal difficulties did not break Sil as a person and artist, but became a kind of catalyst for his next musical projects. The singer resolved earlier conflicts with his producer Trevor Horn and began work on a new album. Obviously, what happened to him in recent years was reflected in the song "Prayer for the Dying", which became the first single from the musician's second album, which, like the debut, was called "Seal". This song was literally created by the musician. He worked on it for almost four years.

According to Seal, the album became a kind of manifesto of the struggle with himself, with his ailments and the state of his soul and mind, which he had to endure in the years that separated him from the release of the album - his debut. Not a trace remained of the idealistic atmosphere of the first album on the second disc. The presence of healthy realism has become a distinctive feature of the performer’s new work. However, Seal appeared before the public not only with a new philosophy of life, but also with a new image. In 1994, noticeable changes occurred in his appearance: for the first time he appeared before the audience with a shaved head.

"Seal - II" initially did not sell as well as the debut album. The situation changed only thanks to the film "Batman Forever". The director of the film, Joel Schumacher, heard the song "Kiss from the Rose" and realized that it was perfect for his film. The song was included on the soundtrack and the single itself was re-released. Almost a year after the album's release, its sales level jumped sharply. The second edition of the single "Kiss from the Ross", in support of which a new video was shot, turned out to be much more successful than the first. The song climbed to the top of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. She topped the Billboard hit parade for 12 weeks. The total circulation of the album reached five million copies. For "Kiss from the Rose", Seal received three Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

It’s interesting that “Kiss from the Rose” was written back in 1988, and by the time of its resounding success, Seal no longer remembered under the influence of what events it was born. The musician recorded the first demo version of the song without using any musical instruments, imitating all sounds using his own voice. This happened because at that time the future singer did not yet know how to play any musical instrument well, but he had excellent command of his voice.

The singer's next album, "Human Being", was released only in 1998. The recording process took a very long time and took a lot of physical and moral strength from the musician. The recording was accompanied by constant conflicts with the producer, as well as problems with the record company. The first single from this album was the song "Human beings", which Seal wrote under the influence of the murder of rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. The song was also based on Seal's own thoughts on fame and death. Despite all the efforts, the third album did not receive as warm a reception as the first two. The musician even had to cancel the tour planned for the summer of 1998 in support of him. The reasons for this forced decision were financial problems and poor sales of concert tickets.

The artist's fourth studio album, "Togetherland", was planned for release in 2001, but unexpectedly its release was cancelled. According to Seal, neither he nor the record company Warner Bros were satisfied with the final version of the disc, and in the end the difficult, but much-needed decision in this situation was made to record a completely new album.

The musician moved from Los Angeles, where “Togetherland” was recorded, to London. Where he began his musical career. To record an album called “Seal” with Trevor Horn and regain lost ground.

"Seal IV" hit record store shelves in September 2003, five years after the release of Seal's previous album. Slowly but surely, the disc gained popularity in many European countries, and the single “Love’s divine” made it to the top positions of the charts. The musician regained the positions lost in the late 90s, managed to overcome all the difficulties that stood in his way, and emerged victorious in the fight against the difficult trials that befell him.

Despite the fact that at different periods of his work the singer turned to different musical directions, essentially all this time he remained true to himself. Seal himself calls his music soul - music that comes from the depths of the soul. When asked why his albums are released so rarely, he replies: “In order to record songs, I need real inspiration, and not strict deadlines set before me.”

The singer draws his inspiration from numerous travels around the world. It’s as if he wants to absorb the beauty and uniqueness of the places he managed to visit. “I try to see the beauty in everything that surrounds me and capture it in my songs,” says the musician.
Well, Seal, being a gifted singer and talented songwriter, and at the same time an interesting and strong personality, has deservedly taken his place among the most gifted musicians of our time.

Famous British singer will perform Seal. There’s no arguing that this talented person is known to everyone, but what’s so interesting going on in the singer’s life that makes the whole world talk about him?
