- The American singer Ronnie Spector died of cancer at the age of 78.
- The family announced this on the artist’s website.
- The well-known front woman of “The Ronettes” from the 60s sang songs like “Be My Baby”.
Ronnie Spector then worked with greats like Bruce Springsteen and Keith Richards. As the front woman of the trio of The Ronettes, she became known in the early 1960s and sang songs like “Be My Baby” or “Baby, I Love You”.
In 1972 she had to flee from the marriage hell with the crazy producer Phil Spector and divorced him in 1974. Several stars then helped her stay in business and break free from the dependency of her ex-spouse.
The musician described the marriage in her biography as terrible and marked by abuse by her ex-husband. Phil Spector was even jailed for murder in 2009 and died of Corona on January 16, 2021.
Almost a year later, Ronnie Spector’s bereaved relatives said: “Our beloved earth angel Ronnie left this world today after a short battle with cancer.”
