Unhappy 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...

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

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.

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.

So, so sad

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

May she now RIP with her demons!

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

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.

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....

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
