Helen Reddy, Australian Singer and Feminist Icon, Dead at 78

Rest in peace, Helen Reddy. The Australian singer died on Tuesday, her children announced on Facebook. She was 78.

Reddy, best known for her 1972 hit"I Am Woman," was diagnosed with dementia in 2015. She had been living in a Los Angeles nursing home for professional entertainers. "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," Reddy's children, Traci and Jordan, said in a statement on her."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.

Reddy's ex-husband and former manager, Jeff Wald, added on Instagram,"It is with great sadness that I must announce that my first wife of 18 years and the mother of my two eldest children, Helen Reddy, passed suddenly and peacefully at the Motion Picture and Television Home today. It took a while but we managed to become friends again after the divorce. We had many ups and downs, but more ups than downs.

So sorry. RIP, Helen.

I am beyond devastated. 😪 Such an icon.

Loved her Delta Dawn and Ruby Red Dress ❤️🙏🏼

I am so sorry. She added so much to our lives musically and as a woman.

Awe no! I love her music.

Rest In Peace

RIP

I heard you roar. Thanks!
