The Death of Simone Sherise Battle
Simone Sherise Battle (June 17, 1989 – September 5, 2014) was an American actress and singer from Los Angeles, California. She was a finalist on The X Factor in 2011 and a member of the pop group G.R.L..
Girl band singer Simone Battle has been found dead in her west Hollywood home.
Battle gained notoriety through performances on the US television show The X Factor. Her five-member band G.R.L., originally a reboot of the Pussycat Dolls, had been signed by mega-hit maker Dr Luke.
Battle, 25, was found on Friday morning, the Los Angeles county coroner’s department said on Saturday.
“Words cannot express the depth of our loss. Simone’s incredible talent was only surpassed by the size of her heart,” the band said in a statement.
The singer was found by her father, Anthony Battle.
Battle attracted a strong following in the countries she toured. Only last month she visited Australia, where G.R.L. had a double platinum hit with Ugly Heart.
X-Factor judge and Pussycat Girl Nicole Scherzinger tweeted that she was dedicating her performance in South Africa to her friend Battle.
