Renee Geyer, an Australian music icon, reportedly passed away at 69, per her family. The soul singer gained notoriety in the 1970s thanks to her distinctive husky voice but passed away due to complications following hip surgery.
In a statement published on Tuesday afternoon by The Mushroom Group, Geyer’s family acknowledged her passing. While recuperating in the hospital, Renée was told she had incurable lung Cancer.
A memorial service’s specifics will be made public later. Geyer had previously battled breast Cancer in 2009, but she could make a full recovery due to early detection and successful surgery. On social media, musicians and others involved in the Australian music scene paid tribute to Geyer.
The statement announcing her passing stated that she had just performed to a packed House and was looking forward to another busy year ahead performing for her devoted fans across the nation.
