Rock's greatest spunk has passed away :(

I saddened to hear that Chrissy Amphlett has died.

The idol of countless Aussie boys, the Divinyls lead singer was certainly one of my 'fancies' growing up, and a woman I admired as she battled MS & cancer in later life.

In my memories Chrissy...

:(

[AstralTraveller]

I saw that and I'm a bit choked up. She was far too young to go.

100% agreement Alexander. "Divinyls Live - Jailhouse Rock" now going in the DVD.

[Paul Haese]

RIP girl.

I could tell you a story or two about her. I saw her quite a few times live in Sydney when I lived there in the 80's in small pub gigs. She was legendary for one thing....

Great entertainer.

[sheeny]

RIP Chrissy.

I didn't even know she was sick, so it has shocked me a bit.

I think I'll listen to Divinyls tonight.

Al.

A sad day indeed.

[xstream]

So, so sad :sadeyes:

I had met Chrissy several times, a greater party rager you could not wish to meet.

May she now RIP with her demons! :(

[lacad01]

[GrahamL]

Great band and performer,, what a sad loss to oz music :(

[frenchbluehour]

RIP

[h0ughy]

yes shocking news - i knew she was undergoing chemo as she was in the news over 12 months ago but not hearing anything is not necessarily good news. there are a few old rockers under the big C thumb at the moment

[jjjnettie]

Sadly her M.S. prevented her from having the necessary radiation treatment for her cancer. :(
I saw her perform numerous times and she was definitely one of a kind.
Rest in Peace Chrissy. :(

[Davros]

A beautiful woman taken far too soon. May she rest in peace.

[cybereye]

Yep, a sad, sad day. Many memories, both of her and the band and some great times spent listening to the music. A sad, sad day. My eyes definitely moistened when I heard the news driving home....:sadeyes:

[Ric]

A sad day for Australian music.

RIP Chrissy

[04Stefan07]

RIP. We will miss you.

[Astro_Bot]

RIP, Chrissy.

[Stardrifter_WA]

It is sad that such talent should die so soon.

Another one of rock's legends passed away today too. Woodstock icon Richie Havens passed away at 72.

RIP

[Jen]

[Capricorn1(Tom)]

[Suzy]

I had know idea she was sick or that she passed away until I just read this. :(
She was a huge part of my life growing up as a teen in the 80's, loved her music so much (aaaah the 'head bang' days).
An Australian music legend- RIP Chrissy.
