After a seven year hiatus from the recording studio, Sarah McLachlan is back with Laws of Illusion — and a new tour to boot, in Lilith Fair 2010.
The singer/songwriter, 42, cites a complicated family life as “the reason it takes so damn long” to make music, noting that her father suffers from Parkinson’s Disease and her marriage to drummer Ashwin Sood recently collapsed.
“[My life is] terribly pedestrian,” McLachlan confesses to the Los Angeles Times. “There’s nothing special about it.”
“Half the bloody world is going through a divorce, more than that are having children,” she goes on to note.
