Very sad news. She was a true living legend and a very strong and inspirational woman!

This is sad. It always amazed me how she was able to create such great art in face of so much hardship. She truly is a legend.

Sad to hear, and though I was in no way familiar with her music, she truly seemed to hold a lot of passion for the art itself... (:
