THE NAKED TRUTH

Canadian rocker Bif Naked gets real about life in and out of the spotlight

- INTERVIEW: AMY BIELBY

She has never been one to hold back. Through her music, fiercely feminist punk rocker Bif Naked has always been transparent about her struggles, which include battling breast cancer and dealing with sexual assault. But now, she's opening up more than ever before.

In Bif Naked: A Documentary (on demand via Super Channel Fuse), audiences get a raw and emotional look at the '90s trailblazer–including a interview with her birth mom, who put the singer up for adoption as an infant.

“It’s a pinch-me moment,” says the Toronto-based “Spaceman” singer, 54. “It makes me feel like I’m in the middle of my career [and not the end], which I didn’t anticipate feeling.”

Here, Hello! Canada sits down with the star – also known as Beth Torbert – to discuss the personal project, favourite musical memories and the importance of kissing your dog on the mouth!
