Lauren Bennett, the British singer known as a member of the girl groups Paradiso Girls and G.R.L., has passed away at age 37.
The singer was also known for her collaborations with CeeLo Green, Robin Antin, The Pussycat Dolls, and LMFAO.
The news of her death was shared on the Instagram of her former musical grouo G.R.L. on Monday.
The statement said: “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.”
Her representatives did not respond to request for comment by the BBC, while the statement did not reveal a cause of death.
