Laura Lynch, a founding member of Dixie Chicks, now known as The Chicks, passed away at the age of 65 in a car accident, confirmed by her cousin, Mick Lynch.
The incident occurred on December 22 outside El Paso, Texas, as she was driving to Dell City.
Lynch co-founded the iconic group in 1989 and initially served as the bassist before becoming the lead vocalist.
Despite their first two albums not achieving chart success, their song “Past the Point of Rescue” received radio play.
Lynch’s final work with the group was the 1993 album “Shouldn’t a Told You That,” after which she left in 1995, and Natalie Maines took her place.
