Rita Lee, the Brazilian singer who started her career as a founding member of the long-running, highly original rock band Os Mutantes, has passed away.
The news was shared on Lee’s official Instagram page Monday morning (May 9) and first reported in English by ABC News shortly thereafter.
No cause of death was given.
