Sharon Jones Loses Her Battle Against Cancer

sharon-jones-photo-by-jake-chessum-small

Sharon Jones, the powerful soul singer and Dap-Kings frontwoman, has died at age 60 after a years-long battle with cancer, her publicist announced Friday (Nov. 18)

A message from her band was posted to their website, “We are deeply saddened to announce that Sharon Jones has passed away after a heroic battle against pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by her loved ones, including the Dap-Kings.”

Her family and members of the band would like to thank all their friends and fans for the prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. They suggested that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following organizations:

  • The Lustgarten Foundation
  • James Brown Family Foundation
  • Little Kids Rock

It is with a heavy heart that the staff at Infinity Hall Live pass on this news and will no longer have the opportunity to work with this amazing woman and her band. We will contact all of those who entered to win tickets to see Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings on 12/6 at Infinity Hall Hartford.
