In his early 20s, Grammy-winning singer Seal developed facial scars from discoid lupus, a chronic condition that he initially struggled to diagnose. “I saw numerous doctors, but no one knew what it was,” he shared. Over time, these scars became a significant part of his identity. Reflecting on them, Seal stated, “Something that was initially traumatizing became something that made me instantly recognizable.”

Seal’s music career took off with the hit single “Killer,” followed by his debut album featuring “Crazy.” His distinct voice and style earned him widespread acclaim. “Now, at the age of 60, if I could change anything… I wouldn’t,” Seal remarked, emphasizing how his experiences shaped him.

Seal married supermodel Heidi Klum in 2005, adopting her daughter Leni and welcoming three more children. Despite their 2012 separation, they remained committed to co-parenting. “It could be easier sometimes, but everyone is healthy, and that’s the most important thing,” Heidi noted.
