Canadian Idol judge Sass Jordan dies at 65

Canadian Idol judge Sass Jordan passed away on October 2 at the age of 65, according to her family. The singer-songwriter was remembered as an "inimitable force of nature" and "an irreplaceable being of light and joy" by her family and the magazine Variety. No specific cause of death has been disclosed, but it is known that she had been struggling with a health condition that led to her cancellation of several performances throughout the year.

Jordan's musical career commenced in 1986 with her work on Come On (Baby Tonight) from Bündock's album Mauve. Some of her notable songs include L’Affaire Dumoutier (Say To Me…) and Closer Together. She joined the panel of Canadian Idol judges in 2003. Jordan once remarked, "If you love music and you’ve been around as long as I have, you pretty much do what you got to do," but emphasized her deep love for music, stating, "I am a huge, gigantic fan."
