LOS ANGLES - Natalie Cole (65), one of the great voices in decades has died. She passed away on Thursday evening from ongoing health issues at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
As TMZ reported, she struggled with substance abuse and was plagued with health problems, suffering from liver disease in 2008. She also underwent chemo for Hepatitis C.
Natalie, whose hits include "This Will Be" and "Unforgettable" which she performed as a virtual duet with dad Nat King Cole, died from congestive heart failure, although we're told the underlying medical issues were complications from a kidney transplant and Hepatitis C.
She had been very sick recently, cancelling several tour dates in late December including a New Year's Eve concert at Disney Hall in L.A. She also cancelled an upcoming February concert due to illness.

Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain unforgettable in our hearts forever.”
