Lita Ford: Queen of the Rock Guitar who retired to spend more time with her family.

Lita Ford possessed something special; else, she would not have attained the title of heavy metal music's reigning diva.

At her prime, Lita was much more successful and skilled than many of the other male guitarists of that time.

In 1994, she and singer Jim Gillete tied the knot and produced two sons. However, they divorced in 2011.

When she was at the peak of success in the late 80's, she decided to spend her full time with her sons and family.

And it is impossible to deny that this decision had a huge impact on the guitarist's career. Her popularity started to decrease with her absence.

She took a break of around twenty years from the music industry and then returned, but things were not the same for the guitarist now.

Being away from music also affected her net worth, which is currently $4 million. Ford could have made a great fortune if she had continued her career.

She prioritised her family over a successful career, and it was her personal choice only. We respect that.
