A BRIT Award-winner has barely aged despite three decades passing since her worldwide hit single.

The Australian, now 56, saw huge success from the fan-favourite track, released from her second album.

Now Tina Arena had delighted fans showing off her ageless beauty in a brand-new Instagram video.

The Chains songstress flashed her newly-coloured brunette locks and shoulder-length hairstyle after a trip to the salon.

She was hailed “music royalty” by the stylist at the Karlose James salon in her native country.

Tina finished off her trendy look with a grey pinstripe blazer and white vest top.

Fans were quick to gush over the Sorrento Moon songstress’ youthful glow, with one writing in the comments: “Tina Iconic ARENA.”

Another put: “Looking great Tina,” as a third mused: “Love your voice and your hair.”

One then added: “New look, looking fantastic Tina.”

The star – who has many strings to her bow as a singer-songwriter, musical theatre actress and record producer – has clocked up more than 10 million record sales worldwide.

The Show Me Heaven singer – who previously claimed she “didn’t want to be ignored because I am female” scooped a BRIT Award in 1996 for International Breakthrough Act.

In 2015, she was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (Aria) Hall of Fame and, a year later, recognised in the Australia Day Honours list.

The prestigious events recognised the Melbourne-born star’s years of success in the music industry which kicked off in 1985 with her debut single, Turn Up The Beat.

In 1190, after a tour with Lionel Ritchie, she adopted a “disco diva” approach for track I Need Your Body.

Her second solo album, Don’t Ask, was released in 1994.

The lead single Chains was released ahead of the album in August and reached number 6 in the UK charts.

Further tracks from the release included Heaven Help My Heart and Wasn’t It Good.

Third solo album In Deep came in 1997 with lead single Burn again released in the same year.

She released further albums, as well as a Greatest Hits, and starred in the touring production of stage show Evita.

HEALTH BATTLE

Earlier this year, Tina was forced to cancel dates on her Love Saves tour in Australia due to “excruciating pain.”

She was candid as she told themusic.com.au: “I didn’t realise the severity of what was going on.”

Tina was rushed to Melbourne’s Epworth Hospital and spent six days in the Intensive Care Unit recovering.

She told the publication: “My kidney was very close to exploding because it was highly, highly infected.

“I wasn’t aware of how bad it actually was.”

The Burn hitmaker added: “The doctor looked at me, and she said, ‘You can cancel your tour’. I said, ‘I beg your pardon?’ She went, ‘You can cancel your tour.

“She said, ‘You’re going nowhere…’

“I think that’s a culmination of many years of buildup of extraordinary pain and going through things and trying to work things out.”

AUSSIE RULES

Back in 2017, The Sun exclusively reported how Tina had joined forces with Danni Minogue to help her fellow Aussie and former UK X Factor judge re-launch her pop career.

At the time Dannii, who gave a rendition of Sorrento Moon, said: “Duetting with Tina was emotional.

“This is my dad’s favourite of Tina’s songs, and it’s her parents favourite too.

“This is the first time we’ve reunited vocally since the early 1980s.”
