Singer Lauren Bennett, best known for her role in the girl group G.R.L., died on May 29 at the age of 37 in Kent, England.
The cause of death has not been confirmed, and a coroner’s report is pending further details.
Former bandmates Emmalyn Estrada, Natasha Slayton and Paula van Oppen released a heartfelt tribute, expressing deep sorrow and highlighting Bennett’s lasting impact on their lives.
Bennett began her career with the group Paradiso Girls, which disbanded in 2010. She later joined G.R.L., achieving chart success with songs such as “Ugly Heart” and “Wild Wild Love” featuring Pitbull.
She also contributed vocals to Lmfao’s “Party Rock Anthem” and released solo material until 2017.
Bennett was a mother to a six‑year‑old daughter with partner Kenny Wormald.
Her passing follows the 2014 death of former G.R.L. member Simone Battle and the group’s subsequent disbandment, though brief reunions occurred in 2016 and 2020.
The music community mourns Bennett’s loss, remembering her talent, humor, and the memories she shared with fans worldwide.
