The real name

[edit]

The real name of Kaz Hawkins is Karen McIntyre, that's a mistake in this page. This is the source: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/kaz-hawkins-when-i-get-up-on-stage-im-in-this-safe-place-where-no-one-can-touch-me-31038419.html Andrija178.223.177.64 (talk) 19:29, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a mistake as Kaz Hawkins legally changed her name by deed poll in May 2014. We discovered this in our ongoing research as we are making a documentary on her life. Kaz references it at times during interviews like this interview with Shout Out To Women where she explains the legal change is in memory of her muse Etta James. We have verified with UK Deed Poll and have viewed the certificate of change. Goldwingd1966 (talk) 19:43, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
