    Greetings from Scotland! Lena Zavaroni, from Rothsay on the Isle of Bute on the West coast of Scotland. A perfect example of how a super talent was destroyed by the music industry! This broke my heart at the time, and it still hurts like hell!
    I tried to send you a link to the full, tragic story but RUclips deleted the last comment I sent. I would copy and paste but they will delete that too.
    So, here's the short version - First song came out at 10yo, "Ma! (He's Making Eyes at Me)" and she hit the charts and rose to huge fame at 13yo. That's when her problems started. Shei suffered anorexia nervosa and also developed clinical depression when she was fifteen. After an operation to cure her depression, Lena died at the age of thirty-five from pneumonia on 1 October 1999 in Cardiff, Wales.

    As a stand alone performance, this is indeed legitimately and completely sensational…but….when you know Lena’s’ story and where she was with herself at the time of recording this, it really is something else …… one of the finest vocal performances EVER!

    Lena's story is the most brutal of all child star cases and her song choices usually said a lot about her and the inner pain she was suffering. Lena still holds the record for being the youngest person to have a top ten best selling album. Thats some going.

    She was a child star whilst I was growing up in the 70s, she had a TV show with Bonny Langford. She struggled terribly with anorexia and passed away very young. This song always makes me cry.

    She was an amazing child singer. From Scotland. Got her start on a show called Opportunity Knocks. She would have been a superstar but has a sad and heartbreaking story. Her mother comitted suicide. Her father remarried. Lena suffered from anorexia, and depression. Her agent was not helpful at all. Took no blame for the things she did to Lena. Lena weighed about 70 lbs when she died. Her death came after a surgery for depression. She contracted a chest infection after a brain surgery, and she just couldn't fight it. She died 2 weeks later. Singing that song I think was almost like her "goodbye". That's how she felt in life.

    I still have her album. She was an amazing and beautiful talent who at age 35 in 1999 from pneumonia.
    Sure, there have always been child stars. But, Lena was an altogether different phenom.

    Lena came to London from Scotland aged 9. A showbiz agent heard her in Scotland. When in London they entered her in a talent show called Opportunity Knocks with Hughie Green as compare, around 1973/74. She won 5x over I think, went on to do her own tv shows in 1970s and 80s. She went to Italia Conti stage school, and think she lived with her agent in London, While her parents remained in Scotland. She ended up with severe anorexia, depression. She never recovered and died in the 1990s in her 30s. She toured USA, Japan as a child. She ended up in a council flat unemployed at end of her life. She was so talented as a singer dancer. She was too sick to continue in showbiz so went out of the lime light in mid 1980s.

    Lena won a talent show as a very young child and recorded many records in her short life. As a teenager she sadly developed anorexia and became iller and iller and eventually died from pneumonia in 1999. A very sad story to be told here.

    Lena Zavaroni was an AMAZING singing talent and prodigy whose life was cut short from complications from extreme an0rexia (similar to what happened to Karen Carpenter). Just like Karen Carpenter, some losers in the industry told her that she was “too fat”, and it sent her into this spiral.

    I worked with the Amazing Lena Zavaroni for a few years when we work on the Yorkshire Television Production of "Junior Showtime" I was 12 years old and Lina would have been around 10 when we first met, I was part of the young chorus of singers and dancers on the show and Lena would make regular guest appearances throughout the seasons- I never heard of her management making her diet? But she was called by certain journalists as being "Chubby" which inevitably led to her anorexia 😢 Lena was an amazing Singer and Dancer, Cheeky and had a great sense of humour 😜 I'm still great friends with Bonnie Langford who worked with Lena for many years becoming inseparable allies 🙏🏻❤️

    If you go down the Lena Zavaroni rabbit hole you will regret it. A play about her life is preforming at The Edinburgh Festival 2023. Lena's mother was raped and allegedly committed suicide.

    Thanks for this. If you didn't know she also sang on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in June of 1974. Here's the You Tube link for that appearance if anyone would like to see her as a Child singer. ruclips.net/video/SZnmGZTlZu0/видео.html

    A tragic story for sure. Though I am not familiar with this artist, it is always sad when artists choose to end their own lives. That is one thing that makes Angelina Jordan so special, she wasn't forced into performing, her performances are being limited by her parents. She is definitely not being exploited. That's what makes the song "One More Light" so powerful, with the death of the singer Chester Bennington. Especially when it is sung by the One Voice Children's Choir, after the suicide of a former member.
