Today it was announced that singer Natalie Cole, daughter of the legendary Nat King Cole, had passed away due to complications from ongoing health issues. She was 65 years old.
Cole’s voice and love for life will always be remembered. “I think that I am a walking testimony that you can have scars,” she told CBSs Sunday Morning in 2006. “You can go through turbulent times and still have victory in your life.”
Cole passed away Thursday evening at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles due to compilations from ongoing health issues, her family said in a statement to the AP.
“Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived … with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever,” read the statement from her son Robert Yancy and sisters Timolin and Casey Cole.
