In memoriam- Eonline (16/02/16)

In less than two months plagued by tragic musical deaths, the "This Will Be" singer succumbed to "complications from ongoing health issues" and passed away at 65 years old on New Year's Eve. She joined a mournful list of other stars lost within the year, including rock star David Bowie, Earth, Wind, and Fire's Maurice White and The Eagles' Glenn Frey.
Though all four names were featured in the annual award ceremony's In Memoriam section among dozens of other industry greats, additional performances were arranged to give extra recognition to White, Frey, Bowie and B.B. King, who had passed away in May. Cole's famous family took notice of their sister's commemorative absence.
