Another sad loss: Christina Amphlett, the former lead singer and songwriter for the Australian band Divinyls, has died after a long struggle with cancer and MS. She had lived in New York for many years, and will be mourned by many, many of her friends here.
Nina and I first got to know Chrissy way back in 1982, when the Divinyls came to Power Station to record their album Desperate. She was a beautiful, loving, keenly intelligent woman, and an immensely gifted artist.
Our thoughts and sympathies go out to her husband, Charley Drayton. Chrissy may be best remembered for the hit single I Touch Myself, but she touched a great many lives as well. She will be deeply missed.
