Kasey Chambers, 48, has revealed her strange living arrangements with her much younger partner and guitarist Brandon Dodd, 29, a week after winning a lifetime achievement award.
Kasey and her partner Brandon, who is 19 years younger, have known each other for several years. The guitarist has performed with her for nine years.
Speaking about their relationship, the singer noted in her book that the 19-year age difference does not bother her.
“Even though our age difference leans the other way, Brando was generally much more mature than me most of the time,” he wrote.
‘Much more traditional than me. He even decided to no longer have a smartphone and went back to using an old flip phone so he wouldn’t live his life through a screen.’
He also believes the lovebirds are a “perfect couple” and started dating “six or seven years ago.”
