She's only Human

In an interview for the independent.ie Susan Anne Sulley of The Human League has given in an insight to her personal life. "I make sure the cat is fed, clean her litter tray and I do the normal things that normal people do, like empty the dishwasher," says 47 year old Susan, who lives in Sheffield with partner Martin and said cat, Holly.
Although she confesses to having had 'food problems' in the past she now enjoys her meals does our Susan and vists the gym regularly..although never without make-up. She also regularly attends to her ailing parents (awwww, bless..) and then goes to Asda, preferring it to more up-market Marks & Spencers.

Some days she also goes to the studio where The Human League are currently recording their new album. "We've had some bad times when we didn't do very much because we got dropped by the record company and we lost direction, but all through that we've always worked" says Susan. While she enjoys live work and touring she now admits that in the beginning they were "rubbish". Susan joined The League with school pal Joanne in 1980 after being spotted by Phil Oakey in the Crazy Daisy disco in Sheffield. Phil had to ask parents' permission to take them on tour. "He arrived in four-inch heels with his hair down and red lipstick, and he brought a scrapbook of all the stuff the group had done...As soon as my father shook hands with him, I knew that we'd be able to go" recounts Ms Sulley. Oh to have been a fly on the wall...









Susan live on stage wondering what to cook for tea.
