Sophie Ellis-Bextor recalls her famous ‘home discos’ during lockdown

Sophie Ellis Bextor, 43, fondly recalls the famous “home discos” she performed during the height of the pandemic.

The British pop star, who rose to fame with the mega-hit Murder on the Dancefloor, told the Herald Sun that she had found a legion of new fans with the no-nonsense performances.

“It was such an abstract idea, on the one hand, so many people from all over the world came to our kitchen every Friday, but on the other hand, we couldn’t see anyone,” she told the publication.

The mother of five added: “The community that came out of it meant so much to us. Life has just returned to normal now, but for Richard and me it was so special.’

Sophie is back in Australia for the first time in seven years, with her performance last week at the National Gallery Victoria.

Soon she will appear in the special ‘Rises in the East’ concert series on Channel 7’s Sunrise as part of the Summer Camp Festival.

In May 2020, Sophie was joined by her sons as she performed a medley of her greatest hits in her kitchen, which she streamed for her followers on Instagram.

While playing some of her biggest hits, Sophie turned Take Me Home into Stay At Home to remind fans to stick to social distancing.

Sophie was spotted in Sydney earlier this month with her husband, Richard Jones, the bassist for British rock band The Feeling, but was without her five children.
