Seal’s had his trademark face scars for more than 30 years – this is why

Published

It’s not easy to make it in the music business. Many artists and bands oftentimes have to fight years and years before anything happens. Yet sometimes, things just seem to work out perfectly.

For Seal, it was that. The British singer became a sensation even before releasing his first album – and he’s been a star ever since. Also known for his marriage to Heidi Klum, Seal has done plenty of things during his life, and it wasn’t actually music he focused on from the start.

Aside from his amazing voice, Seal is also known for the scars on his face. But how did he get them? This is all you need to know about Seal!

Many people dream about a life in the music business: releasing albums; touring all over the world; living like a rich superstar.

Throughout history, we’ve seen artists that have been very young when making their breakthrough. The likes of The Beatles and Celine Dion were only teenagers when they became worldwide-known artists, but that’s not the case for everyone.

In fact, making it later in life is somewhat more inspiring if you ask me. If you follow your passion through life, it doesn’t matter that you fought 10 or 20 years to make it happen. Achieving a dream truly is the result of not giving up, and that’s something we can all learn from.

One person whose career took off a little later than usual is Seal. The British artist released his debut album at the age of 28, and ever since, his music has greatly impacted people all over the world.

Not only did Seal become famous because of his music, but his marriage to Heidi Klum also elevated his celebrity status. The couple split in 2012.

“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart,” a statement released by the couple read.

Seal has become a hugely popular artist over the entire world, both for his music and being one half of the “super-couple” with Heidi Klum.

But there is one other thing that really makes him unique, and that’s the scars on his face. They’ve become a sort of trademark for Seal, and many see them as being rather cool looking.

So how did Seal get the scars? Well, they’re actually the result of a chronic disease called lupus. It can cause inflammation, as well as pain in any part of one’s body, but is most commonly associated with the skin and internal organs.

Seal has s special form of the disease, called discoid lupus. It causes coin like scarring of the skin, hence the “scars” on Seal’s face.

Seal got lupus when he was 21 years of age. However, he says it’s not as serious as the lupus which affects the organs.

The singer doesn’t see himself as suffering from it. Instead, he looks at it as something that instead has helped him in a way.

“Something that had kind of been initially traumatizing turned out to be something that has made me instantly recognizable,” he said.

He added that he was very self-conscious about his scars to begin with, however he “quickly realized this body is not who we are”, and that he “got off lightly.”
