Debbie Gibson, '80s pop icon, gears up for new tour, reflects on decades-long career: Showbiz "keeps me young"

Pop icon Debbie Gibson, who took the music world by storm in the 1980s at the age of 16, is gearing up for her encore tour starting later this month for her album, "The Body Remembers."

As a singer, songwriter and producer, Gibson produced massive hits such as "Foolish Beat," "Lost in Your Eyes" and "Electric Youth," becoming a pop princess who topped the charts decades before today's music royalty. 

With her mother by her side fighting to protect her voice, Gibson broke through the barriers of being young and female, producing and recording her own songs and albums with creative control. Her first album, "Out of the Blue," produced five hit singles and sold over 5 million copies.
