Inger Lorre, vocalist of the alternative rock group Nymphs, passed away at 61. The singer died on October 16th due to complications from recently diagnosed cancer. Her mother passed away less than two weeks prior, on October 4th, both confirmed by Jen Wening, Inger’s sister.
Kitten Robot Records issued the following statement on Friday (18th):
“We are saddened to say goodbye to our beloved friend and artist Inger Lorre. Inger, born Lori Anne Wening, passed on October 16th from complications due to recently-diagnosed cancer. Her mother, Lois Wening, had also passed on October 4th; both are confirmed by Jen Wening, Inger’s sister. Inger was an accomplished singer, songwriter, recording artist, painter and a lover of animals. A singularly unique artist, both visually and musically, Inger first came to national attention with her band Nymphs, whose self-titled LP was released by Geffen Records in 1991. Her career as a solo artist began with ‘Transcendental Medication’, released by Triple X in 1999. Kitten Robot released her final album, ‘Gloryland’, just last year. Our condolences go out to Jen and her family and to her many friends and fans.”
Our thoughts go to Lorre’s family and friends during this difficult time.
