The frontwoman of the rock band The Detroit Cobras, Rachel Nagy, has died, according to bandmate Greg Cartwright broke the news late Saturday evening, January 15th, who shared the sad news on Instagram. The reason of death has yet to be revealed.
“It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved friend and musical colleague, Rachel Lee Nagy. There are no words to fully articulate our grief as we remember a life cut short, still vital and inspirational to all who knew and loved her. With the Detroit Cobras, Rachel Nagy carried the torch of Rock, Soul and R&B to fans all over the world. More than just a performer, she embodied the spirit of the music itself and vaulted it to new heights with her own deeply affecting vocal power. I know that I am not alone when I say that I was inspired by her vitality, her fierce intensity and her vulnerability. Once plans have been finalized by the family we will post more information regarding further details to memorialize Rachel and play tribute to her life. Until then, please know that if you are devasted by this news as we are, you are not alone. We are with you in your grief. Rachel is survived by her brother Tony Nagy and her mother Marge Nagy,” the Instagram post reads.
The Detroit Cobras were supposed to perform at El Club last week, but the Covid crisis forced them to postpone the show until February 2022.
