Diana Ross will no longer be coming out on the Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas showcase cruise.
As a devoted fan, I was eagerly anticipating the journey that was set to begin on August 20, with our beloved singer scheduled to lead off a three-day extravaganza. However, it was announced that she wouldn’t be gracing us with her presence anymore, as the cruise line confirmed her absence from the event following her ordainment as the ship’s “Godmother” in June.
Unfortunately, Diana Ross won’t be able to attend as the Godmother for the Star of the Seas, as mentioned by Royal Caribbean in a statement to TopMob News on August 13. We’re excited to reveal our new Godmother shortly.
A rep for Diana likewise confirmed her exit to People citing “unforeseen circumstances.”
As your trusted lifestyle advisor, I’m excited to share that while we eagerly await the confirmation of our new talent, I must inform you of a temporary change in our plans. The artist initially scheduled for an upcoming event, who is 81 years old, has recently concluded her U.K. arena tour in July. Given this, it’s important to note that Diana, who was set to kick off her Beautiful Love U.S. tour on August 16, will now be postponing the start of this tour. Rest assured, we are working diligently to bring you an amazing experience as soon as possible!
After being named the Godmother of the “Star of the Seas” this past summer, Diana explained the significance of this unique role.
She shared with People that she’s always felt a profound bond with the ocean, its enchantment embodying tranquility, excitement, and wonder. When Royal Caribbean approached her to serve as the godmother of the ‘Star of the Seas’, she recognized it as an extraordinary opportunity.
Diana, who is a mother of five children including Tracee Ellis Ross and Evan Ross, as well as a grandmother to eight, had her own ambitious plans for the occasion. “The family has been extended an invitation,” she stated, “and that includes all the grandchildren. Essentially, this voyage symbolizes happiness and family-oriented entertainment.
Apart from making her health and well-being top priorities at the moment, Diana, a mother to Rhonda Ross Kendrick, Ross Naess, and Chudney Ross, emphasized that her family holds an equal amount of importance in her life, stating, “For me, my family is everything.
Indeed, when Diana graced the Met Gala this year after more than two decades, she ensured that her grand 18-foot train carried a unique and meaningful inscription.
She shared with La La Anthony on the May 6 event that her piece features the names of all her children and eight grandchildren, each name carefully embroidered into it.
Besides making a grand entrance on the train, the singer famously known for “I’m Coming Out” further emphasized her arrival by wearing a dazzling silver gown adorned with jewels and a lavish, broad-brimmed and feathered hat designed by Ugo Mozie. Speaking of the headpiece, she joked, “I have to be mindful with the hat because my head is rather large.
As for how the music legend remains calm in the spotlight?
In 2005, she confided in Elle magazine, “When I step in front of the camera or onstage, I make an effort to ignore whether my outfit looks right, forget about my makeup, hairdo, if I’ve returned phone calls as scheduled, and so forth.” Instead, she aims for enjoying herself, feeling spiritually connected, and being content.
