You had a troubled but inspirational life; you'll not be forgotton for a very long time. I loved your music and related to your troubles. Your music brought enjoyment to so many people and you truly became an icon of Aussie rock. May you rest in peace.

I felt I had to post this somewhere, she deserves some kind of tribute.

If you don't know her, she was the singer from the Aussie rock band The Divinyls from the '80s and '90s.

The band sold millions of records but ended up broke. In the end she succumbed to MS and breast cancer, such a quiet end for such a wildwoman of rock'n'roll.

am havin' a few drinks for ya and crankin' Divinyls all night. RIP.

ABC news article and very insightful interview:
