RIP SOPHIE?

[Quark]

Seeing this all over Twitter this morning but nothing official I can see. Anyone know if this is true? Sad news if so 😞

Awful if true 😟

[FloorFiller]

Looks like it’s true (more confirmations in the comments):

Fuck I can’t believe this. RIP.

I can't believe it. She is one of the most impactful live performers I've ever seen, a true visionary. 

I was listening to her yesterday and all I could think was how good it'd be if she turned up on the next lineup 😞

[FloorFiller]

From her team:

‘It is with profound sadness that I have to inform you that musician and producer SOPHIE passed away this morning around 4am in Athens, where the artist had been living, following a sudden accident. At this time respect and privacy for the family is our priority. We would also ask for respect for her fanbase, and to treat the private nature of this news with sensitivity. ‘SOPHIE was a pioneer of a new sound, one of the most influential artists in the last decade. Not only for ingenious production and creativity but also for the message and visibility that was achieved. An icon of liberation.’

Awful news 😞 RIP Queen

RIP

RIP. It really felt like she was just getting started, even though she had already made some incredible music. Her drums are so recognisable and iconic.

I must confess I had no idea who she was until I saw several news stories about it on Twitter...was she big in the dance music world?

RIP - 34 is no age to sadly pass away.

34 is no age to happily pass away! Mind you, I can see that there would be a school of thought that would refute that.

That's awful, she had a hand in creating and producing some cracking music. RIP.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Similarish things happened to Phillipe Zdar and DJ Mehdi!

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

The electronic/dance music scene has taken some huge blows over the last twelve months for numerous reasons

[Ayrshire Chris]

Really sad news 

[Mattymooz]

Honestly this feels a bit unreal - something about the suddenness and randomness of her passing has really unsettled me. She was an icon, both because of her progressive thinking in music and also what she embodied for queer culture. RIP.

Not my playlist, but have just had this pointed out on Twitter.
