Another icon has fallen.
Donna Summer has died following a battle with cancer. The 63-year-old disco legend reportedly passed away this morning (May 17) in Florida, and her family released a statement, saying they are "at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continue legacy."
Summer is known for her many hits, including "Hot Stuff," "Last Dance," "She Works Hard for the Money" and "Bad Girls," among many others, and won five Grammys over the course of her career. Summer had lung cancer, which she believed came from inhaling particles after the 9/11 attacks in New York. She was reportedly working on a new album up to the time of her death.
One of my favorite Summer songs is "On the Radio"; it was only a few months ago I picked up a Donna Summer live CD, which is sitting at work because I just listened to it last week.
Goodbye Ms.Summer and rest in peace.
