I had a crush on her when I was a teen-aged boy. Beautiful voice. Then one night I saw her on TV strung out on drugs and my crush ended.
Wonder if that had something to do with her early demise.

I saw a story that said she fought breast cancer for almost 40 years.

So did my thirteen year old son. Actually, I think every young kid did at that time.

I doubt she was “strung out on drugs” at any point. I’ve followed her career since the 1970s and have all her albums. She did do some marijuana toward the end of her life (overseen by her husband) to help with the cancer pain. RIP.

She campaigned for medical cannabis in Australia, as she said it was one of the only things that kept her functional during her cancer treatments.
She said in more than one interview, she’d rather be high than nauseous and in pain.
