Grace Slick retired from music but remains active in the arts, focusing on visual art and occasionally participating in interviews and music-related events.
Grace Slick, born on October 30, 1939, is best known as a singer-songwriter and one of the lead singers of the rock bands Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship. After a successful career in music that spanned several decades, Slick retired from performing in the mid-1990s. She decided that she did not want to perform in public after reaching a certain age, stating in interviews that older people on stage reminded her of “a wrinkled old prune.”
Since her retirement from music, Slick has devoted herself to her other passion: visual art. She has been painting and drawing since the 1970s, but it became her primary focus after leaving the music industry. Her artwork includes portraits of famous rock stars, fantasy themes, and animals, among other subjects. She has had gallery showings and her work is sold through various outlets.
Despite her retirement, Slick has not disappeared from the public eye entirely. She has made appearances at music events, done interviews, and has been involved in various projects related to her legacy in music. She has also been an advocate for animal rights and environmental causes.
Slick’s contributions to music have been recognized by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Jefferson Airplane in 1996. Her iconic voice and rebellious spirit have left a lasting impact on rock music and popular culture.
