Oh... RIP.

https://www.smoothradio.com/news/mus...ttes-tributes/

Ronnie Spector has passed away at the age of 78 after a short battle with cancer.

The legendary Ronettes singer - who was best known for several 1960s hits including 'Be My Baby', and 'Walking in the Rain' - died "in the arms" of her husband and manager Jonathan Greenfield.

In a moving family statement, Ronnie's loved ones stated that a celebration of the musician's "life and music will be announced" at a later date.

The family said: "Our beloved earth angel, Ronnie, peacefully left this world today after a brief battle with cancer. She was with family and in the arms of her husband, Jonathan.

"Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humour and a smile on her face. She was filled with love and gratitude.

An angelic voice silenced. At least she successfully escaped Phil and got the royalties she desired.
