Donna Summer passed away today
 

Sad News, Disco Queen of the 70s Donna Summer died at age 63 (64?) of breast cancer.

I loved her 70s and 80s work with Giorgio Moroder.

Very sad.....

I still can't believe it. It's a really sad news.
RIP Donna, may God bless your soul.

^^ This thread will obviously be moved to the Chit Chat area.

I hate when the idols of my youth are slowly slipping away... although I certainly was not expecting this one. Oy! I have *zero* knowledge about her health, but I am especially shocked that she died from breast cancer- a disease that has a markedly better prognosis today than it did in the past. Oh, this is so sad... :distress: The first record I ever bought was the 45-single of Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park" b/w "Once Upon a Time (Live)." I bought it at the Korvettes in Herald Square. I played the sh** out of that thing.

RIP Donna Summer

They are saying it was lung cancer from breathing in particles from 9/11.

Oh my god.I'm shocked too.I did not know she was sick with breast cancer.I always love her music.She was the queen of disco.

Rip Donna.

There are no albums I love more than Bad Girls and Once Upon a Time.

There is no song I love more than "I Feel Love."

RIP Donna Summer

Wow.Lung cancer .She was in NYC on 9/11.

Here's some videos of Donna Summer.

I heard this on the radio this afternoon and was really shocked and saddened. I wasn't even aware that she was ill.

i was shocked to learn today that donna summer died today. she will be missed.

We are losing all of these great artists lately.It's sad No one can to replace them.

Shocking and sad. I had no idea either she was living right here in the quiet little beach town of Englewood, Florida that's just below Sarasota. I go there all the time.

This is so unfair! Every pain is unfair, specially for a disease that, as Hejira said, today can be defeated better than in the past, but reading that she was another victim of the 9/11 tragedy is something that breaks the heart

Rest in peace, Donna. :angel:

RIP Donna Summer
 

I was shocked when a co-worker told me @ lunchtime that she passed. :sorry: I didn't know that she was sick & apparently she was a private person & this is why. I just know that it was cancer & either breast or lung cancer. Either one is just terrible. I have her last CD, Crayons, first one I ever bought & I really liked it. We had parakeet back in the disco area that when my mom played "Bad Girls", just loved the "Toot toot, beep, beep" & went crazy singing along. That brings back good memories.

RIP Donna :(
