2020 has claimed another iconic life. Bonnie Pointer, a member of R&B group The Pointer Sisters, has died at the early age of 69.
“It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of The Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie died this morning,” Bonnie’s sister and former bandmate Anita said in a statement. Anita said “our family is devastated” and asked for “prayers at this time” on behalf of the Pointer family. �Bonnie was my best friend and we talked every day. We never had a fight in our life, I already miss her and I will see her again one day,� she said. The Pointer Sisters lost their other sister, June, in 2006.
With her sisters, Bonnie made five albums and also co-wrote a Grammy-winning song for the group, “Fairytale.” RIP Bonnie Pointer. We wish her family, friends, and loved ones our sincere condolences.
