Kathryn Valentine (born January 7, 1959) is an American musician, the bassist for the rock band the Go-Go's.

She has maintained a career in music through songwriting, recording, performing and touring as well as additional academic and creative pursuits.

Valentine was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October 2021 as a member of The Go-Go's.


Belinda Carlisle the 64-year-old singer was the lead singer of the renowned rock group before going on to achieve a string of hits in her own right in the 1980s and Belinda says the group are finished, having gone out on top with a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2021.

She told Variety: "It’s done. It has to be done at some point, you know. I think bands can go on too long, and without naming names, there are a few. And singers as well. I always tell my manager, 'I hope you’re gonna tell me when it’s time.' I don’t think that he’s gonna have to, because I probably will have pretty much felt like it’s time for me. I think I have a good sense of that. But, I mean, we did it all. I think that the Rock Hall induction was a really wonderful way to cement the legacy of the band. There’s something to be said for leaving at the top."

Belinda - who recently made a comeback with her EP 'Kismet', more than five years after she last released an album - also revealed she would love to collaborate with Brandi Carlisle as they both think it is hilarious that people confuse them for each other.

She said: "I think she’s great. We both had a big laugh meeting each other, because people confuse both of us — I mean, all the time, still. Which is probably annoying to her and annoying to me at times, too, and funny at times as well. But I’m a huge fan of hers. And I would love it; if something appropriate came up, I would be totally into it."

The '80s icon has a new Diane Warren-penned EP, 'Kismet,' and a summer tour on the way. But she's happy enough with her life not to promise she'll be returning to record-making full-scale, and she believes the Go-Go's' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors were a good way for the band to go out
