Sass Jordan dies at 65: Who was the rock star?

Sass Jordan, a celebrated rock star and judge of Canadian Idol, has passed away at the age of 63. Born Sarah Jordan in Birmingham, England, she was raised in Montreal after her family relocated when she was three years old. Jordan's passion for music ignited after seeing David Bowie perform on his Diamond Dogs tour, which inspired her to pursue a career in singing and music.

Over her four-decade career, she became a recognizable voice in Canadian rock, delivering hits like "Tell Somebody" and recording a duet with Joe Cocker for the Bodyguard soundtrack. Jordan's influence extended beyond her music, as she served as a judge on Canadian Idol from 2003 to 2008 and starred in theatrical productions like Love, Janis.

In recent years, she experienced a resurgence in her career, releasing two blues albums and performing at major rock events. Her death leaves a void in the music industry, as she was remembered for her inimitable force of nature and light.
