We are brokenhearted to share that our beautiful Irene Queen passed away last night after multiple years battling cancer. Irene was a frequent vocalist with Lost Friend, Second Best, and L'Albatros. She was an amazing sister, friend, and band mate with a perfect voice, even if she didn't think so. While Lost Friend has new music already scheduled to release tomorrow that Irene did not have the energy to be part of, all money raised will be donated to cancer research. Irene was a joy to know and sing with and it's devastating to lose her so young.
