Rollo Armstrong siblings: Meet sister Dido
Dido, who is also a singer, is his younger sister.
Dido, a stage name for Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O’Malley Armstrong, was born in England on December 25, 1971. She became a global sensation thanks to her debut album No Angel (1999).
The album features the hit singles “Here with Me” and “Thank You.” Her numerous accolades, including two Brit Awards for Best British Album and Best British Female, as well as the MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act, came as a result of its global sales of over 21 million copies[6]. A joint effort between American rapper Eminem and the band “Stan,” the first verse of “Thank You” is sampled.
The successful singles “White Flag” and “Life for Rent” from her subsequent album, Life for Rent (2003), contributed to her sustained success. Dido participated in the charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid 20 in 2004 together with other British and Irish musicians.
The first two studio albums by Dido rank among the top sellers in UK chart history. For “If I Rise,” she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song. Safe Trip Home, her third studio album, was well-received yet fell short of her prior works.
With the release of her fourth studio album, Girl Who Got Away, Dido made a comeback in 2013. On March 8, 2019, she released her fifth studio album, Still on My Mind. the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors awarded him the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection.
