Samantha Fox was one of the most iconic figures of the 1980s. With her bold image and powerful voice, she became a symbol of a decade defined by synths, wild hairstyles and unforgettable lyrics. But where is the woman behind Touch Me (I Want Your Body) now? The answer is clear: she’s still on stage – and more authentic than ever.
Born in London in 1966, she first burst into the public eye as a glamour model on Page 3 of the British tabloid The Sun. But it was music that truly changed the course of her life. With international hits and a provocative aesthetic, she broke boundaries. Yet her story didn’t stop in the 80s. Samantha has evolved, adapted, and today, she continues to prove her career is far from over.
She’s also been outspoken about the exploitation of her sexualized image over the years, reminding the world that “the music was good enough without the scandal.”
Fox by name, foxy by nature
Fox has made a powerful return to the European live circuit. In Spain, she was one of the most eagerly awaited performers at retro-themed festivals like Discoteca de los 80s in Madrid, Generación Tocata in Bilbao and Aridane +Dance in La Palma.
And in 2025, her first three albums were reissued on vinyl, giving new value to her music beyond the image that made her famous.
On a personal level, Samantha is enjoying a happy and steady chapter. In 2022, she married her partner Linda Olsen, a Norwegian mother of two. Together, they form a close and private family. Fox has also become a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ community, speaking openly about her life and defending the right to love freely, without labels.
At 59, she’s proving that talent doesn’t come with an expiration date – and that nostalgia can be a springboard for growth and creativity.
