Anastacia is world-renowned for her edgy, soulful voice, and her small stature (160 cm or 5'3") has also led to her being nicknamed "The Little Lady with The Big Voice". She was also known for her trademark glasses (often darkly tinted), but she had surgery to correct her vision permanently in August 2005.
She made headlines when diagnosed in 2003 with breast cancer. On April 21, 2007, she married her bodyguard of three years, Wayne Newton, in Mexico.
