While we're talking about legendary musicians, let's bring Prince into the picture. The tiny guitar hero is simply one of the best musicians who ever lived. Slash was incredible with a guitar, but Prince could play any instrument he laid his hands on, and do it better than almost anybody else. He wrote hundreds of songs during his life, from 'Purple Rain' to 'When Doves Cry,' and when he decided one of his creations wasn't for him, he'd sell it to somebody else. Sinead O'Connor owes her whole career to him because he gave her 'Nothing Compares 2 U.'
With his flamboyant style of dress and his slightly surly character, we can't help but wonder if Jafar from 'Aladdin' was capable of playing a few smooth licks if someone handed him a Fender Stratocaster. Both men have a definite flair for the theatrical, to say the least. We just doubt that the evil Jafar has enough love in his heart to write something as delicate and beautiful as 'Purple Rain.'
Whether celebrities are looking to be in the spotlight or escape the paparazzi, there are some popular vacation destinations that always seem to be frequented by the stars. Celeb spotting is a favorite pastime of many travelers, and you might be able to snag a photo or even an autograph when you visit these top celebrity vacation spots around the world. Although the price tags may be a bit higher in these destinations than your average budget getaway, these are some of the best celebrity vacation spots that you can start saving up to visit and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have a house here, and it’s been a favorite getaway for Gwenyth Paltrow. Some of the local favorites that boast the most celebrity sightings include the Wellies Restaurant and Bar, Puerto Portals, and Es Trenc Beach.
Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
