NEW YORK - Laura Branigan (news), a Grammy-nominated pop singer best known for her 1982 platinum hit "Gloria," has died. She was 47.
Branigan died of a brain aneurysm Thursday in her sleep at her home in East Quogue, said her brother Mark Branigan. He said she had complained to a friend of a headache for about two weeks before she died, but had not sought medical attention.
I'm very saddened by this. Laura was a singer I always admired. One who came along when I was young and heavily into pop music. She had an amazingly strong yet beautiful voice. I can't believe this :(

She had a tough time in the last several years. Gave up everything to nurse her husband through his death from cancer, fell from a ladder and was seriously injured, gained a bunch of weight.
Her official site, http://www.laurabraniganonline.com/indexfs.htm has a video clip from "Where Are They Now" which shows her last year. There's also little letters she wrote for the site including a couple where she explains how unhappy she is about 'laurabranigan.com' being touted as her official site.

She seems to have fetish of people who died in a horrific kind of way. She probably gets aroused by looking at pictures from www.findadeath.com

I guess I am a bit of a hypocrite. I do love that site.. had it bookmarked for years :) But I don't post about these matters that often. Just normal stuff like being masturbated by my cat.
