Vanity, lead singer of the '80s girl group Vanity 6, has died after years of battling kidney failure and, more recently, an abdominal illness.
Vanity, whose real name was Denise Katrina Matthews, passed away in a Fremont, CA hospital on Monday, according to sources close to her family.
A few months ago she set up a GoFundMe page, and said she'd been diagnosed with sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, an inflammation of the small intestines. ...
Beautiful woman.
Rest in Peace
Just watched that the other night and thought “Duhyamm!!! She’s beautiful!!”
She had kind eyes

The kind I like...
Yes she was, that is why I’m shocked she died this young but I am happy to know that she gave her life to Christ and is now in her new heavenly eternal home.
Sheila E. is also a born-again Christian.
She was SO hot back in the day . I would have crawled on my hands and knees for a mile just to kiss her hand . R.I.P.
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Her story should become an inspiration to all the girls out their who are lost.
Bummer. I still have a vinyl record of her one and only hit. She was a thing for a hot minute back in the 80s.
RIP
/she completely renounced her stage name and career and became a born-again Christian/
