Dame Vera Lynn to mark her 100th birthday by releasing album
Dame Vera Lynn, known as the “forces’ sweetheart”, is to celebrate turning 100 with the release of an album.
The singer, who buoyed British spirits during the second world war, will mark her birthday with re-orchestrated versions of her most famous music alongside original vocals.
It is thought the album, to be released on 17 March, three days before her birthday, will make Lynn the first singer to release a new album as a centenarian. The album also features a previously unreleased version of Sailing – a surprise find as it was not widely known she had recorded the track.
