Suzi Quatro'S Surprising Driving Secret: A Glam Rock Legend'S Uk Misadventure

Suzi Quatro's Long-Running Legal Oversight

Glam rock icon Suzi Quatro has set the stage with a revelation that's sure to surprise fans and followers alike. The Detroit-born singer, with her 18th solo album, "Freedom," poised for release next week, has candidly confessed that she's been unknowingly breaking UK driving laws for over five decades. Despite calling the UK home since 1971, Suzi was unaware that her American driving licence was only valid for the initial 12 months after her arrival.

“I was told when I started to drive in this country that my American licence was fine,” Quatro tells The Mirror. “And over the years I was insured, I had speeding tickets.”

To her surprise, the rock star discovered just this January that due to changes in US law, her American licence could no longer be renewed without physical presence in the state of issue for six months. This revelation has now sent her on a quest to obtain a UK driving licence, a task she approaches with a mix of humor and disbelief.

Suzi's Upcoming Album and Tour

"I'm 75, for god’s sake," Suzi exclaims, reflecting on her long history behind the wheel since the age of 16. Yet, the driving drama is just a prelude to the excitement surrounding her latest album "Freedom." The album features a unique collaboration with fellow Detroit rocker Alice Cooper in a spirited cover of MC5's "Kick Out The Jams."

Fans will have the chance to catch Suzi live on her UK tour, which kicks off in April 2026. With stops at iconic venues like the London Palladium and Birmingham Symphony Hall, it's set to be an unforgettable musical journey.
