Sia Furler’s face has made a very rare public appearance

The quirky Australian singer is rarely seen without elaborate face-obscuring headwear, but she let it all hang out ahead of her flight to Dubai, where she’ll be performing this weekend.

The 41-year-old showcased her fresh new honey-coloured locks — a considerably toned-down look from her usual platinum blonde.

The Chandelier singer has previously spoken candidly about why she never shows her face, describing the “unpleasantness” of celebrity attention.

During an appearance on Sunrise in 2015, Sia was asked about why she still shuns the spotlight.

“Because it’s ugly, it makes me feel hunted.

“You feel like prey and they’re the predator and you’re being hunted ... You go into fight or flight.

“Would you like to spend your life feeling like prey? Probably not.”

Describing celebrity attention as “unpleasant”, the notoriously camera-shy star said she only ever wanted a “regular life” while doing what she loves — making music.
