American R’n’B star with a massive pair of lungs and a perfect pair of piano-playing hands. Classically-trained at music school in New York, Alicia Keys, who really does have the same name as the most important parts of a piano, is a keen composer and had her first whopper hit with Falling. Jonathan Ross once asked her to teach him to play the piano on telly - he wasn’t very good. This may or may not be why she went a bit bonkers and ran away to Egypt to recuperate from the pressures of fame. Has a child with the hilariously named Swizz Beatz.
