Sia’s cover has been blown during a concert in Colorado on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old singer couldn’t maintain her disguise when a gust of wind picked up and blew her trademark hairpiece away, giving the audience a rare glimpse of her face.
The Aussie singer and song writer is famous for never showing her face in public and has gone to great lengths to hide behind extravagant wigs and hats on stage and the red carpet.
The secret’s out! Sia was too wrapped up in her performance to cover up her face.
Last year, the South Australian star told Ellen her efforts to hide her face in public stemmed from a desire to remain anonymous despite her fame.
“Well, it’s so that I can go to Target and buy a hose if I want to. Or if I’m in need of a restroom and I can’t find one, I could go by the side of the road,” she said.

Before releasing her own music, Sia was a song writer to the stars and has penned dozens of hit songs for Rihanna, David Guetta and Flo Rida just to name a few.
But it seems the talented artist wasn’t after the lifestyle and attention bestowed on her famous friends.
“I’ve been writing pop songs for pop stars for a couple years and have become friends with them and see what their lives are like. And that’s just not something I want,” Sia told Nightline’s Chris Conley previously.

We can all take some life advice from Joan Collins – you can still live an incredible life, even at age 83!
The Dynasty star is proving that some people get better with age after she shared a photo of herself alongside two young and handsome Formula 1 race car drivers.
Hanging out with Fernando Alonso, 34, and Jenson Button, 36, she captioned the pic: “Living life in the fast lane next to a couple of @McLarenF1 champions @alo_oficial and my compatriot @JensonButton.”
Button uploaded the same photo to Instagram, writing “Dame Joan looking lovely as always.”
You go, girl!
Joan has been married to Percy Gibson since 2002.

It’s nice to see Joan with a smile on her face, after the sad death of her sister and best-selling author Jackie Collins, in September.
“I don’t think I will ever recover from the sadness of losing my beautiful baby sister,” Joan said at the time.
“Someone once said, ‘The reality is that you don’t ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one, you learn to live with it,'” she continued. “I think Jackie would have liked us to do more than that. As she requested, I will not mourn her death, but rather celebrate her life.”

Selma Blair has certainly had a turbulent week, with the actress being removed from a flight and hospitalised after she mixed alcohol and prescription drugs.
But things took a positive turn for the Cruel Intentions star on Thursday when she celebrated her 44th birthday with her son by her side.
Sharing a sweet snap of her four-year-old Arthur giving her a kiss, the actress wrote, “‘And so what should I wish?’ And he whispered it in my ear right then. I ask my angel for it to be true every day. And to do the same for others.”
The actress was thrilled to share her 44th birthday with her son Arthur.
She added, “Thank you @wildersatheart for loving us this birthday. Your patience. Your support. We [love] you. And a sincere thank you to all those who sent me the spirit of loving and forgiveness. It is a new birth year. Thank you.”
On Wednesday, the 44-year-old apologised for her bizarre outburst that led to the actress being taken from the airport to hospital on a stretcher.

“I made a big mistake yesterday,” she said in a statement to Vanity Fair.
“After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret.”
Selma went on to apologise to the crew and passengers on board the flight from Cancun to Los Angeles, admitting she’s “human” and sometimes makes “mistakes”.
It’s news to no one that there’s been a generational clash in the modelling industry, with certain former cover stars deeming the present day generation as “not true supermodels.”
But now in an attempt to end the catwalk cattiness, OG Tyra Banks has weighed in with a lengthy essay entitled Model War, that specifically defends today’s reality-turned-cover stars Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.
Speaking out to her generation of “original supermodels” which includes the likes of Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen and Cindy Crawford, the America’s Nex Top Model host began by acknowledging their hard work.
“We worked runways and shot magazine spreads together, schlepped to countless go-sees, used pay phones for on-the-go communication, and subways for transportation around the globe – no cell phones.”
“And, after all that hard work, dedication… after all the blood, sweat, fears and floods of tears… we finally were bestowed with the coveted title of Supermodel!”

The 42-year-old uploaded this mini-rant before posting her “Model War” essay.
The new mum then brings to light the mindset of some, who believe that the modern-day supermodel’s fame was fast-tracked by television and social media.
“Fast forward to present day, and some of us are in a state of shock.”
“We witness young girls on reality shows and super popular girls on social media now being called Supermodels and think, “WHAT?! It’s not fair! Is that kind of success even real?”
“Yes. IT IS REAL.”
Finally, she praises Gigi and Kendall with the message, “you’re on countless covers, rule all the campaigns, walk everyone’s runway, have top designers on speed dial and everyone knows your name.”

The conflict began in April earlier this year when actress and former model Rebecca Romijn called out best friends Kendall and Gigi as “not true supermodels” in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Seconding her notion was ex-model Stephanie Seymour, who went as far to call the 20-somethings the “b—hes of the moment.”
Unsurprisingly, the remarks made their way across the whole internet. Some fans agreed, whilst others rushed to the pair’s defense.
The two former-supermodels became the subject of a relentless online debate.
Following their comments and an influx of backlash, both Stephanie and Rebecca took to social media with apologies for Kendall and Gigi, but the damage had been done.
Clearly hurt by the scrutiny, Kendall took to her app with a post addressing the drama.
“Being a ‘supermodel’ is a relative term,” she began. “If people want to call Gigi and I supermodels now, it doesn’t take anything away from supermodels of the past.”
“Obviously, I have so much respect for those women, but right now, we’re the models of this time. Significant? Maybe. Hardworking? For sure.”

Unfazed, Kendall and Gigi will no doubt continue to dominate the fashion industry.
The husband of high-profile Sydney publicist Roxy Jacenko, Oliver Curtis, has been sentenced to at least one year in jail for insider trading.
Scroll down for video
Justice McCallum sentenced Oliver to two years jail, with possible release after one year on good behaviour.The stockbroker was charged and convicted for the $1.43 million he secured through trades that were based on illegal tip-offs given to him by his childhood friend and former Orion Asset Management employee John Hartman.
“Mr Curtis has not embraced responsibility for his offending,” Justice McCallum said, adding he was driven by “self-interested pursuit of material wealth”.
Before adding she did not believe the 30-year-old felt remorse for what he did.
“It is wrong to regard insider trading crime as victimless,” she remarked.
Nine News reported when Oliver received his sentence, he kissed his wife and handed her his wedding ring.
The judge also acknowledged that Oliver has changed since he committed the crime over eight years ago, when he was 21 and 22.
“It’s always gutting especially when young people are concerned.”
Roxy stated to the court that her husband was the kids’ “primary carer” as she was often busy at her “24 hours, 7 days a week” job.
“If Oli were to be sent to jail our children will lose the close relationship the have with their father for a period of time,” the Sweaty Betty PR executive quipped.
“Given their ages I’m worried about the effect this will have on them.”
“I will need to significantly reduce the amount of hours that I work to maintain my businesses in order to take up the parental responsibilities that Oli currently has.”
Former Prime Minister John Howard once said he wanted Australians to feel relaxed and comfortable.

But not the two men currently competing to be our next prime minister.
Judging by the scare campaigns being run by both the major parties over the past week, we can only assume they want us to be afraid, very afraid when we go to the polling booth in just over a week’s time.
The Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, wants us to be anxious about hordes of asylum seekers invading our shores if Bill Shorten’s Labor is elected on Saturday week. That’s despite Shorten saying the boats will never make it here because Labor will turn them back just as the Coalition has done.
Shorten’s scare campaign is much closer to home, and is based on one of our greatest anxieties – being able to get access to affordable health care when we need it.
Political journalists have started calling Shorten’s scare campaign “Mediscare”.
The Labor leader has made Mediscare the main theme of his election pitch to voters. According to Shorten, the PM harbours a secret desire to sell Medicare to the private sector, meaning the end of bulk-billing and free access to some health services.
Shorten bases this accusation on the fact that the Government originally had plans to get a private company to run Medicare’s payments system because the current government system uses an antiquated IT network. Those plans have now been scrapped.
Bill Shorten was grilled by Leigh Sales
This is a long shot from selling off the whole of Medicare, but that little fact hasn’t deterred Labor from suggesting this is the PM’s real intention.
On ABC’s 7.30 last night, presenter Leigh Sales took Shorten to task for being fast and loose with the truth. She challenged Shorten half a dozen times to prove the Coalition would privatise Medicare if re-elected.
At one point Sales asked “Can you put your hand on your heart and look Australians in the eye and say that the Coalition has a policy to privatise Medicare?”
The Labor leader responded “I can say to the people of Australia that this election and their vote on July 2nd will determine the future of Medicare.”
Shorten couldn’t provide proof (because there isn’t any) and essentially said we should trust him when he says Turnbull’s track record proves he cannot be trusted.
That’s right, the man who helped Julia Gillard behind the scenes to knife Kevin Rudd, and then did the same to help Rudd beat Gillard, wants us to take his word over the word of the man who brought down Tony Abbott. What a choice.
Later in the 7.30 interview, Sales asked Shorten whether the message he was sending with his hyperbole around Medicare was that he didn’t think the truth alone could win Labor the election.
Shorten’s response was “Not at all. I just think the truth of the Liberals plans on Medicare is scary and I will not be deterred.”
So are you scared yet? You shouldn’t be. You should be angry instead.
Angry that the two men who are asking us to place our trust in them – not to mention the well-being of the entire country – are treating voters like fools.
With one breath they say they should be trusted, and with the next they’re spinning a lie about their opponent.
We deserve to be treated with greater respect than this. Voters need more than silly ghost stories to help us decide who is best fit to run the country.

Ben Affleck appeared on Bill Simmons’ talk show Any Given Wednesday and sounded off about a topical NFL controversy in the most bizarre way.
The 43-year-old dropped the F-word 18 times throughout the interview, which seemed more like a one-sided rant.
Ben could be noticed slurring his words as he passionately discussed his views on the NFL’s investigation into New England Patriots star Tom Brady’s use of under-inflated balls.
“Deflategate is the ultimate bullsht fing outrage, of sports ever. It’s so f*ing stupid,” he began the five-minute rant.

Despite what everyone on social media thinks of his riled-up speech, Ben defended his choice of words as he joked about the incident on Twitter afterwards.
“For those of you keeping score at home, I gave exactly 18 fcks about my Pats. Upon reflection, 12 probably would have been sufficient,” The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* actor wrote.
Glowing! Jen was spotted post-workout in LA just days before Ben’s rant.
He added: “We Boston fans have always been known for our subtlety. One of my favourite interviews; hope you get to see the entire episode. #GoPats.”
Meanwhile, his estranged wife Jen is looking more radiant than ever while proceedings for their divorce are under way.
The 44-year-old actress was spotted leaving a Los Angeles gym on Wednesday with a post-workout glow.
On Thursday, RadarOnline reported that the Hollywood couple held an intense meeting to discuss the press surrounding their rocky marriage.
Ben is reportedly furious at Jen for leaking stories about their rocky relationship to the press.
Ben was apparently furious about the recent stories leaked about their relationship, but the pair “have agreed to call a truce on making each other look bad,” according to a source.
The couple, who share children Violet, 10, Seraphina, seven, and Samuel, four, from their 10-year marriage, are expected to finalise their divorce later this year.
The power couple announced their shock split in June last year, with reports emerging since of Ben’s infidelity with a nanny.
Ben and Jen kept a united front in front of their kids at a family dinner recently. Watch below.
Ex footballer David Beckham got to meet Queen Elizabeth II at a special ceremony in Buckingham Palace yesterday, but it was his four-year-old daughter Harper who was beside herself with excitement.
Beckham was joined by other star guests, including Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who presented medals to the 60 winners of The Queen’s Young Leaders Awards for 2016.
Beckham said of the event: “Just being here, it gives me goosebumps just driving through the gate.
“I’ve been here a couple of times now and every time it is very special.”

But it seems little Harper was the one most excited.
“After the school pick up today I was talking to Harper and I was like ‘I’m going to see the Queen,” he said.
“She was like, ‘okay but do you think she will be drinking tea.’ So she was very inquisitive.”
Ikea has recalled children’s safety gates over the unreliable locking mechanism which could result in injury for kids.
Yesterday, the Swedish furniture retailer said they’d received reports that the gates have opened unexpectedly, causing children to fall down stairs and require medical attention.
The recall targets the Patrull safety gate and urges customers who have this model to stop using it immediately. You can return them to an Ikea store without proof of purchase and get a full refund.
