Actress-musician Barbra Streisand says she is more famous in Europe than in her hometown in Brooklyn, New York.
The 74-year-old star, who have won 10 Grammy Awards, is all set to go on a tour in support of her upcoming album Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway but Streisand feels Brooklyn will always see her as the neighbourhood girl.
"I mean, where are my best audiences? Germany. I'm from Brooklyn, so I'm one of them in a sense. But it's like, 'Hey, yeah, show us what you can do, girl!' It's that kind of thing. But in Europe, they're like, 'Ah, she came from Brooklyn.' and I'm an oddball. You're sitting in Brooklyn and they're like, 'You know, she's from the streets'" Streisand told Entertainment Tonight.
Her tour kicks off from 2 August in Los Angeles with multiple dates throughout North America, and wraps up just before the album is released on 26 August.
