MIAMI.- The singer Laura Lynch, co-founder of the grouping The Dixie Chicks, died after suffering a car accident on a highway in El Paso, Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety reported that Lynch was hit by a vehicle that left its lane and was going in the wrong direction to pass other cars on the road. When the authorities arrived at the scene, the interpreter had no vital signs.
After her death was reported, the members of the group, Emilie, Martie and Natalie, issued a statement in which they expressed their sadness and expressed their condolences to the artist’s family and friends.
“We are shocked and very sad to learn of the death of Laura Lynch, founding member of The Chicks. We hold a very special place in our hearts for the time we spent making music and traveling together. Laura was pure light, her energy and humor contagious They gave spark to those early days of the band,” the text begins.
“Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this sad time.”
The origin of the group
The Chicks was founded in 1989 by Laura, Robin Lynn Macy, Martie Erwin and Emily Erwin. At the time, Lynch played double bass, but later took over as lead vocalist.
Although the group released three albums, their impact was not massive.
In 1995, Natalie Maines took her place after leaving the band.
It was not until the late 1990s that The Chicks gained fame and positioned themselves as the second female band with the most albums sold. Likewise, the band won 13 Grammys.
