Pop superstar Carly Simon paid tribute to her sisters – opera singer Joanna Simon and Broadway composer Lucy Simon – who each died of cancer last week within one day of the other.
In a statement obtained by Deadline, Carly says:
Joanna Simon died at 85 of thyroid cancer last Wednesday, Oct. 19, in New York City. Lucy Simon, the composer of Broadway’s The Secret Garden, died the following day of metastatic breast cancer at her home in Piermont, New York. The sisters lost their brother Peter Simon, a noted photographer, in 2018 when the youngest Simon sibling died at 71 of cardiac arrest while battling cancer.
