Man what a shame, I always thought she was great!


I loved the authority with which she performed, and she had "it" as soon as she started singing you knew who it was.

An amazing lady, one of the true individuals of Oz rock.
Total bummer.`

I did a bunch of the big us / worldwide records ( touch myself etc etc ) with her
seems the world I used to run in is dropping like flies at the moment ..
heavy sigh ....

[Manning]

A great loss.

She was one of the first gigs I ever went to as a young'un, the Divinyls at City Limits in Devonport. Never to be forgotten, she was absolutely monstrous.

Very sad news

Chrissy and Mark McEntee spent a week at my house/studio, swimming in my pool and recording demos for an album too many years ago.
She was kinda crazy (in a beautiful way) but I must say she totally amazed me when it was time to record the vocals.
Close to the best singer I've recorded. Every take was super-charged and insipired.

I never got paid for the job........for reasons far too long winded to explain here......and in the end money doesn't mean much compared to all the other stuff.

It was a joy seeing Chrissy at work.
Also Mark.....a really inventive guitarist.

Extremely sad.

I was at a songwriting session when I heard the news for my duo, and we learnt pleasure and pain for our set...

An incredible talent and a brave woman.

So long Chrissy.

[The Tasmanian]

Sad news.
She HAS such an original voice - so much soul.
I would have loved to hear her singing into old age, like a great bottle of red wine - the voice would have aged beautifully.
What a huge loss.
