R.I.P. Laura Lynch

2023-12-23 by A.R.O. EMERITUS | 15 Comments
Former The Chicks vocalist Laura Lynch was killed in a traffic collision just outside of El Paso, TX while driving on Friday evening, after decades out of the spotlight.

One of the original founders of the bestselling country act then known as The Dixie Chicks, Laura Lynch was the vocalist for their first three independently released albums, which featured a more bluegrass and classical country sound than their later hits with Natalie Maines. Many differing reasons were given for her split from the band, but all have since maintained it was amicable. In later interviews, Lynch expressed no regrets about her decision to leave, enjoying her relatively private life.

The Chicks expressed grief over Lynch's death in a statement Saturday:
"We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Laura Lynch, a founding member of The Chicks. We hold a special place in our hearts for the time we spent playing music, laughing and traveling together. Laura was a bright light…her infectious energy and humor gave a spark to the early days of our band. Laura had a gift for design, a love of all things Texas and was instrumental in the early success of the band. Her undeniable talents helped propel us beyond busking on street corners to stages all across Texas and the mid-West. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones at this sad time."

big respect for taking a stand against Bush's war in 2003 and biting the bullet
for the zoomers that don't know, one of the earliest instances of burgeoning cancel culture

She wasn't actually part of the band when that happened, on the contrary she made some lightly disparaging comments towards them bc of it

But yes I'll always love the chicks for that

You're saying this as if cancel culture was something positive.

Anyway, R.I.P.

That's an odd thing to get out of that statement.
