That is a well sourced notice :P

TV had clips of her recently performing I think last year. Always impressive how dedicated some of these artists are still rocking out well into retirement age.

Oh no!  That's very sad.  I knew her health had been poor, but it's sad to know she's gone.  There'll never be another one like her.
