A massive 90s pop star has been spotted looking incredible in a black bikini at 50, as she enjoyed a festive getaway to Barbados.

The star was pictured strolling across the sand in the swimwear, while showing off her age-defying figure in the sun.

It’s lead singer of pop rock group The Corrs, Andrea Corr, and the musician looks like she hasn’t aged a day.

The stunning star looked at ease as she donned large shades and her hair down while enjoying her holiday on the Caribbean island.

The 50-year-old was joined by her son Brett Desmond Jr for their beach excursion, and she later threw on a beach dress after retreating back to the shore.

A trip to Barbados is clearly a tradition for the Irish songstress, who was spotted popping for a dip there this time last year too.

The Corrs were the catchy pop band that got us all dancing like mad to violins and tin whistles in the nineties.

Almost three decades later Irish siblings Andrea, Caroline, Sharon and Jim Corr have barely aged at all.

The group will return to Australia in February for a tour themed around their 1997 second album Talk On Corners, which went five times platinum here and was home to hits like I Never Loved You Anyway and Only When I Sleep.

The upcoming tour will feature support slots from Aussie pop artists Delta Goodrem, Bachelor Girl and Gabriella Cilmi.

The Corrs released their first album Forgiven, Not Forgotten in 1995 and it went on to sell more than 3 million copies in the UK alone.

They’ve since shifted a whopping 40m records worldwide.

They were especially massive here in Australia, where their first three albums and first greatest hits collection went a combined total of 22 x platinum during their initial dream run from 1999 to 2001.

But following waning record sales, The Corrs called it quits in 2005 as they decided to focus their energy on their families an various solo projects.

10 years later they reformed, releasing a further two studio albums and proving their worth as a touring act over the past decade. Their Australian visit in early 2025 follows a full tour of the country last year, and a one-off winery show back in 2022.
