Amos’ fans approved. “This is SO BIG and such a perfect circle in my life and relationship with your music!!! And so special to see how this is so for so many of us! Thank you thank you Thank you for being you and bringing all this light into the world!!! Top fan here 🤘,” read one comment.Interestingly, before the musician/author became a solo artist, she was in a band called Y Kant Tori Read, which released a self-titled album in 1988 that was a stiff. “Billboard referred to me as a bimbo,” Amos said in a recent interview with BBC Radio 2. “I did give up. There was a part of me that just gave up, and it’s pretty bleak because I had to ask the question to myself, ‘So, Tori, how do you go from prodigy to Bimbo? How do you do that?’ So I had to cry on the kitchen floor in my little apartment in L.A. and pick myself up.”Next: 100 Daddy-Daughter Quotes That Show the Special Bond Between Fathers and Their Little Girls
