In the mid-80s, Carlisle went solo, releasing successful albums such as Heaven on Earth and Runaway Horses. Her hits include I Get Weak and the Grammy-nominated Heaven is a Place on Earth. Her new single, Big Big Love, is out on 10 March. She is married to film producer Morgan Mason, has a son and lives in Mexico.
