There has been an outpouring of condolences and shared memories ever since the announcement of Donna Summer’s passing early this morning, after a battle with cancer at 63.
The singer was a vocal powerhouse and gave us some of disco’s most iconic songs, with her music career spanning over five decades.
Among those celebrities and fans who tweeted their condolences are:
Janet Jackson: We will miss Donna Summer! She changed the world of music with her beautiful voice and incredible talent.
Fergie: Another one of my vocal idols has passed… RIP Donna Summer.
Rihanna: Donna Summer?? @_Vaun: @rihanna sadly, yes. 🙁 RIP #dearDonna RT@@hausofbeyhive_ RIP Donna Summer, Queen of Disco!!
Elton John: I’m so sad. This woman was the queen of disco and so much more. Her records sound as good today as they ever did. That she has never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace, especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted. She is a great friend to me and to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and I will miss her greatly.
