Now, 40 years after shooting to fame, the 65-year-old star looks as youthful as ever.

She showed off her glamorous look while performing live at a concert at South Point Hotel in Las Vegas.

The musician was all smiles as she donned a deep blue sequin dress and a pair of nude heels.

Sheena hasn’t released any new material since 2000 but continues to perform regularly across the globe.

In 2015, she embarked on a symphony concert tour called The Spy Who Loved Me, featuring songs from spy movies and Bond-style music.

The following year, she joined the cast of 42nd Street as Dorothy Brock, which premiered in London’s West End.

A year later, she was replaced by Lulu.

The Scottish singer, now residing in Las Vegas since 2000, has two children, Jake and Skylar, and has been divorced four times.

Despite now keeping out of the spotlight, she once worked with renowned artists like Prince, Kenny Rogers, and Luis Miguel.

She sold over 20 million records and recorded the James Bond theme For Your Eyes Only.

The singer also appeared in Prince’s 1987 concert film, Sign o’ the Times, where they performed You Got the Look together.

They then duetted on U Got The Look, which reached No2 in the US and was a Top 20 hit in the UK.

Although there was frequent speculation about a romantic relationship between her and the singer, they insisted that it was strictly platonic.

Sheena paid tribute to the Prince shortly after his shock passing on April 21, 2016.

She said: “‘It is impossible to sum up in a few neat phrases what his loss means to all of us.

“He has been described as iconic, innovative, controversial, unique, charismatic and one of the driving forces of music for the last four decades.

“Yes, he was all of those things, but he was also warm and generous, gentle and kind and when he chose you as his friend, you were blessed.

“He was brimming with music he wanted to share with the world and so many artists and musicians have benefited from his vision. I cherish all the times we spent together making music.

“I can’t imagine Prince not being here. His energy was so strong he never seemed to age or tire like the rest of us.

“He was, and is, the epitome of a soul that came to us overflowing with love, and music, and light.”
