Soul singer Sharon Jones, lead singer of the group The Dap-Kings, has died, her publicist announced late Friday. She was 60.
She'd been fighting pancreatic cancer since 2013, when she took a break from touring to undergo extensive surgery and chemotherapy, Fresh Air wrote earlier this year. The cancer went into remission, but returned this year.
Jones went through treatment again this year while continuing to perform, but the band had to cancel a European tour this past summer because of a medical procedure Jones needed.
I thought at first it was the lady from Killer Instinct and I was really sad. Then I realized I was wrong and I was sad again because I remembered I liked her

I liked her band's album ''Give The People What They Want'', RIP
