Australian singer Marcie Jones died aged 79 on Saturday, just days after being diagnosed with leukemia.
The veteran singer fronted Marcie and the Cookies, one of Australia’s first ‘girl groups’ in the 1960s, in an era where music was dominated by male-led rock bands.
The group was one of Australia’s most popular touring bands in the late ’60s and supported The Monkees when they performed Down Under in 1968.
Her death was announced by her daughter-in-law Lisa on social media.
‘It’s with great sadness to let you all know my beautiful mother-in-law, Marcie Jones, passed away. I feel numb inside,’ she began.

‘You were a legend, an icon, and you will always be remembered. I know you will always be my guiding light. I will miss you so much. I love you. Until we meet again to sing another song!’
