“You know I sometimes I wish my parents were still alive, they’d be proud of us. I feel like God was showing off with us; the wealth of talent that he deposited in our family is unbelievable and it’s not because anybody did anything – it’s the grace of God. There has never been any sibling rivalry whatsoever” says Lulu about their relationship.
