She didn't live forever.

63 is NO age.

I didn't know that she sued her record company for $1.5m over unpaid royalties and won. After that she was shunned for the music industry which is why we haven't heard from her for a long time.
No cause of death has been revealed so far.

Her video was the first time I saw a woman doing a 'bloke's job'!
