‘Supermodel’ singer Jill Sobule dies at 66
Sobule was set to perform in Denver on Friday, but now a free event will be held to honour her
American singer and songwriter Jill Sobule has died at the age of 66 in a house fire in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
John Porter, who manages the singer, spoke out: “Jill Sobule was a force of nature and human rights advocate whose music is woven into our culture. I was having so much fun working with her. I lost a client and a friend today. I hope her music, memory, and legacy continue to live on and inspire others.”
“Jill wasn’t just a client. She was family to us. She showed up for every birth, every birthday, and every holiday. She performed at our daughter’s wedding, and I was her ‘tech’ when she performed by Zoom from our living room (while living with us) during the pandemic,” the American musician's longtime lawyer Ken Hertz also stated.
Craig Grossman, the Mary Kay singer's talent agent, also commented that he had the luck to know Jill deeply. She was the biggest source of laughter to him. She left a mark on the music industry.
Sobule had a 30-year music career and released 12 albums. Her popular hits include I Kissed a Girl and Supermodel and she wrote the musical F**k 7th Grade.
