Helen Reddy has sadly passed away.
The “I Am Woman” singer and feminist activist died at the age of 78 on Tuesday (September 29), her family announced in a statement on Facebook.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Helen Reddy, on the afternoon of September 29th 2020 in Los Angeles,” her children Traci and Jordan wrote. “She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and a truly formidable woman. Our hearts are broken. But we take comfort in the knowledge that her voice will live on forever.”
Helen had 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in her lifetime, including three No. 1s – the Grammy Award-winning “I Am Woman,” “Delta Dawn” and “Angie Baby.”
