Grammy-winning disco legend Donna Summer died yesterday after a battle with cancer, the TMZ celebrity news website reported.
The singer, who was 63, shot to fame in the 1970s with hits including Hot Stuff and Bad Girls, before songs like She Works Hard for the Money in the 1980s. She died in Florida.
"Early this morning, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith," her family said in a statement.
"While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time."
Summer and producer Giorgio Moroder defined the dance music era of the 1970s.
