Biography & Career: The Corrs are an Irish band made up of four siblings. The band members are Andrea Corr (50 years) (lead singer), Sharon Corr (54 years) (violin), Caroline Corr (51 years) (drums), and Jim Corr (60 years) (guitar, keyboards). The group was formed in 1990 in Dundalk, Ireland, and their genre is a blend Celtic folk music with pop-rock elements, making them internationally famous throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The Corrs gained prominence with their debut album, Forgiven, Not Forgotten (1995), which was followed by the even more successful Talk On Corners (1997). These albums contained some of their best songs, including “Runaway,” “What Can I Do,” “Breathless,” and “So Young.” Their ability to fuse traditional Irish sounds with contemporary pop music led them to sell over 40 million albums worldwide.
The band’s discography spans several studio albums, live albums, and compilations. Notable albums include In Blue (2000) and Borrowed Heaven (2004). As their careers blossomed, the band members also began focusing on their personal lives. All three sisters—Andrea, Sharon, and Caroline—married in the 2000s and became mothers, leading the band to take a hiatus during this period to focus on family life. After a hiatus, The Corrs reunited for the 2015 album White Light.
The Corrs members are returning to the stage with their Talk On Corners 2024 Tour, scheduled to hit major arenas across the UK and Ireland in November 2024, including stops in Belfast, Dublin, Manchester, and the O2 Arena in London. Tickets for these upcoming events are available through official outlets, reflecting the high demand for their concerts.
The siblings often speak about the influence of their parents, especially their mother, Jean, who fostered their love for music. The Corrs continue to captivate audiences with their performances and maintain their position as one of Ireland’s most cherished bands. Their collective net worth reflects decades of success, with their impact still felt today as they embark on their latest tour.
