thewayne83, peacefully after a long illness and apparently an extensive battle with intestinal cancer at her home near Zurich, Switzerland.
This Rolling Stone is one heck of a long and loving read. She was an amazing music icon whose last album was released in 1999! She has performed since then, perhaps most noticeably at the 2008 Grammys with Beyoncé! And no one will forget her tumultuous marriage with Ike Turner.
For me, aside from the radio, I think my first real exposure to her was when the movie Tommy was released. They showed it at the biggest theatre in Phoenix, the Cine Capri, a Cinemascope screen, and they brought in rock concert speakers for the showings! She was unforgettable as the Acid Queen.
What an amazing woman. She will truly be missed.
