British Columbia-based singer Sibel Thrasher, who featured heavily on Destroyer’s 2011 album Kaputt, has died, local outlet Richmond News reports.
She was 67 years old. Destroyer’s Dan Bejar, a fellow British Columbia resident, paid tribute to the late Thrasher in a social media post earlier today (April 17). “Saddened to hear of Sibel’s passing,” Bejar wrote. “Her voice transformed Kaputt, her presence lit the stage.
