Very sad indeed. She had a tremendous voice & was a big part of many a young person's life growing up in the 80's & 90's. She will always be one of the greatest voices of all time & will be missed by many. I feel sad for her daughter mostly & the rest of her family. Now atleast she will not have to struggle with her demons. I also have to say though, that this was not unexpected. She has been struggling with addiction for many many years. And as with most heavy drug addicts it is only the matter of time before something happens are either they OD or the body gives out. It is such a sad thing & a real shame that there is no 'real' way to get through to so many or to really help them.
