Will You? Care for Hazel

Hazel rose to fame in the early 80's writing the soundtrack and starring in the film Breaking Glass, as Kate Crowley. Hazel wrote two more hit albums but then unfortunately she never received the earnings she was owed from her success due to an unscrupulous music industry.

Anyone who is a fan of Hazel O'Connor will know that she spent the following years writing songs and albums and touring extensively. Hazel has brought comfort to so many for so long with her music and lyrics that resonate and connect with one and all.

Hazel always had all the time in the world for her fans and would spend hours after gigs talking to fans, signing autographs and posing for photos. She kept us all entertained during lockdown with her Facebook live videos which showed what a truly down to earth, caring and compassionate lady she is.

Unfortunately, in January 2022 Hazel fell ill at her house in the South of France. She suffered a bleed on the brain whilst home alone with her two dogs, Lolly and Diva. Hazel could not raise the alarm and it was some time before she was discovered and rushed to hospital. Hazel was very seriously ill, and the bleed affected the right-hand side of body causing movement and speech difficulties. Hazel is a real fighter, and she has spent the last three years battling in her recovery. Money has already been raised to help cover medical expenses and bills and Hazel is eternally grateful. Despite her fame, Hazel has lived hand to mouth all her life and had no savings. She has been unable to work since the bleed.

Hazel still requires carers three times a day and the considerable monthly bill is a constant worry for Hazel. This fundraiser is being set up by myself and Danny Gerrard to give Hazel financial support to pay for her care bill and provide her with an income to make her life a little more comfortable so she can continue to work on her recovery with as few worries as possible. Please help us to give something back to Hazel after all she has given to others over the years. Thank you, Claire and Danny.
