"Pat Benatar has named Adele and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 as two of her favourite current artists. The &amp;#039;Heartbreaker&amp;#039; singer was asked about the music she listens to most these days in an interview with Parade. &amp;quot;There are so many young women coming up through the ranks. Adele is an amazing singer. Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 has great stage presence. She&amp;#039;s just a beautiful woman,&amp;quot; Benatar revealed. &amp;quot;I love how everyone has just taken charge of their lives and careers.&amp;quot;  Benatar also discussed the difficulties female pop stars face in balancing motherhood and their music. &amp;quot;It was very difficult when I was trying to figure out how to have a marriage and babies and do this at the same time. There was no handbook. You were making it up as you went along,&amp;quot; she explained.  Benatar continued: &amp;quot;I remember seeing Chrissie Hynde backstage and she had just had Natalie and I had just had my oldest, Haley, and we were just looking at each other and saying, &amp;#039;No one is helping us drag baby equipment around!&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;Every day was such a challenge and it&amp;#039;s not like that anymore. Things run pretty smoothly now. It&amp;#039;s kind of fun for me to see how it&amp;#039;s all evolved.&amp;quot; Benatar will be touring North America throughout the summer and fall.
