I’m so very sad about this. She and her husband Alan have been transparent about her long struggle with cancer, but you always have hope.

Hard to know what song to share. Maybe “In Metal”, about their first son, but also the ineluctable passage of time.

Interesting cover. It does a good job of picking up the way they could harmonize.

This cover of Joy Division’s Transmission is another such example:
