The music world is mourning the loss of singer Lauren Bennett, who has died at the age of 37.

Full story below…

The news was confirmed by her former group G.R.L., who paid tribute in an emotional statement. They wrote:

“It is with great sadness that we share the passing of
our beloved Lauren. Our hearts are broken, and we cannot begin to express how much she meant to us. We will forever cherish the love, laughter, and countless memories she gave us. Her beautiful spirit touched so many lives, and
she will be deeply missed and forever loved.
Rest peacefully, sweet Lauren.
You will always be in our hearts.
Your GRLs
Em, Tash, and P.”

Bennett first emerged on the scene as a member of the Paradiso Girls before branching out as a solo act, collaborating with the likes of CeeLo Green and will.i.am. However, she became a global name after lending her vocals to LMFAO‘s 2011 chart-dominating smash ‘Party Rock Anthem.’

She later joined G.R.L., where she featured on fan favorites including ‘Vacation‘ and ‘Lighthouse.’ The group endured heartbreaking tragedy in 2014 following the death of bandmate Simone Battle, before eventually disbanding the following year.

In the years that followed, Bennett continued releasing music, including the poignant single ‘Hurricane,‘ which drew inspiration from the mental health struggles experienced by loved ones close to her.

She leaves behind a musical legacy that resonated with fans across the globe. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time.
