The drummer and singer of slow cover band Love Mimi Parker has died aged 55.
She died of ovarian cancer on Saturday. His band shared the news of his death on their Twitter page.
“Guys, it’s hard to put the universe into words and a short message, but she passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including you,” read the post. “Keep his name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is truly the most important thing.”
Parker and husband Alan Sparhawk built Lowe in 1993. Their debut record “I Could Live in Hope” came out in 1994, and the band remained indie before going sub-pop in 2004.
Their last record was “Hey What” in 2021, their first as a duo.
The group planned a 2023 tour, but canceled the remaining dates in 2022 as Parker battled his illness.
