Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat "King" Cole, has died at 65.
Page Six confirmed the "Unforgettable" singer passed away from congestive heart failure Thursday evening at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
"It is with heavy hearts that we bring to you all the news of our Mother and sister's passing," her family said in a statement to Page Six. "Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived…with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever."
Cole's health had been the subject of numerous headlines over the years.
In 2008, she was diagnosed with hepatitis C and received chemotherapy for treatment, reports People. She later developed kidney trouble which ultimately led to dialysis three times a week.
The next year, Cole underwent a kidney transplant.
Although her health would improve over the years, Cole canceled a string of concert dates this past December and a future concert in February 2016.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson confirmed Cole's passing on Twitter, saying, "#NatalieCole, sister beloved & of substance and sound. May her soul rest in peace. #Inseperable."
TMZ was first to report the news of the singer's death.
