Nineties rock legend unrecognisable 25 years after global smash hit and violent Rolling Stones gig disaster

SINGER Meredith Brooks looks very different 25 years after shooting to fame with her 90s single, B**ch.

The 65-year-old rock star was nominated for a grammy for the song from her multi-platinum 1997 album, Blurring the Edges.

The tune became a worldwide hit thanks to the song’s moody opening lyrics and chorus.

The song begins: “I hate the world today, you’re so good to me I know but I can’t change. Tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe I’m an angel underneath, innocent and sweet …

“I’m a b**ch, I’m a lover, I’m a child I’m a mother, I’m a sinner I’m a saint, I do not feel ashamed …”

The hit – co-writtenb with her friend Shelly Peiken – catapulted the singer to fame and a year later she was invited to support The Rolling Stones on stage in Argentina.

However disaster struck when the crowd tried to boo her off and demanded to hear the Stones, with rowdy audience members chucking rocks and tampons at her.

Meredith was hit in the eye with one flying object and left with severe bruising.

The following night Meredith tried to appease the crowd by appearing on stage in an Argentine football shirt but was again hit with missiles from the crowd.

After singing B**ch she ripped off the top and stamped on it before storming off the stage early.

She went on to release five more albums and saw some success with 1999’s record Deconstruction, and The track Sin City made it onto the score for Nicolas Cage movie Snake Eyes.

Meredith’s song-writing talents were used elsewhere with a string of huge artists calling on her for studio time.

Over the years she has written tracks with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Katy Perry, Bebe Rexha, The Voice to co-write tracks.

Meredith regularly posts on social media and shares throwbacks from her incredible three decades in the spotlight.
