Rest in Peace Donna Summer (December 31, 1948 - May 17, 2012)

The music world mourns another death today as news broke that the Queen of Disco Donna Summer died this morning after a battle with cancer.

According to TMZ, Summer was in Florida at the time of her death. She was 63 years old. 

At the time of her death Summer was focused on trying to finish up an album she had been working on.  Summer was a five-time Grammy winner, who shot to superstardom in the '70s with iconic hits like "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls."

One of seven children born in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, Summer was raised in a three-family complex house and as a young girl began singing in the church.

In her teens, she formed several musical groups, including one with her sister and a cousin, emulating the popular Motown girl groups at the time, such as The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas.

In 1971, Summer moved to Austria where she met and fell in love with actor Helmuth Sommer while the two were acting in Godspell.

In 1973, the couple got married and had their first child, daughter Mimi Sommer.

The couple would later divorce in 1975 and Summer took her husband's last name, flipping it and making it her own.

In 1978, while working on the hit track, "Heaven Knows" which featured Brooklyn Dreams member Joe "Bean" Esposito on vocals, Summer met fellow member Bruce Sudano.

After two years of dating, the couple married on July 16, 1980 and a year later, Summer gave birth to another daughter named Brooklyn. A year after that, Summer and Sudano had their second child, Amanda.

In 1994, Summer and her family moved from Los Angeles to Nashville where she took time out from show business to focus on painting, a hobby she began in 1985.

Summer lived out her days in Nashville with her husband and is a grandmother of four.

GOSSIP: T.I. Confirms Iggy Azalea Not Signed To Interscope

Back in January this year, rap newcomer Iggy Azalea took to Twitter to announce that she had signed to Interscope Records, headed by Jimmy Lovine. 

However, Azalea may spark up a new record label bidding war with Atlanta's T.I., who revealed that the 21-year-old Aussie newcomer is currently a free agent despite supposedly signing to the label earlier this year.

Going onto ink a deal with T.I‘s ‘Grand Hustle’, the MC- by way of Twitter- led many to believe that the 2012 XXL Freshman was the proud owner of a joint deal between both groups, readying her debut album The New Classic for this June.

The blonde bombshell tweeted, "Interscope, if you were wondering."

"Get used to me & Jimmy Lovine smashing sh*t, cause that's the plan'' she added.

However, in a shock twist, T.I. has revealed that Iggy is a free-agent and has not inked a deal with Interscope, despite earlier claims that she did.

"Iggy is a free agent," Tip told Bu Thiam, VP of A&R at Def Jam, on MTV's Hip Hop POV.
 
Whether or not her debut album, The New Classic, will still be released on Interscope remains uncertain, but the change in her contractual obligations may not alter the release as Tip was previously signed on to executive produce the record.

Iggy is working on a new EP titled Glory, which is rumored to feature Big Sean, Mike Posner and B.o.B.

She previously released the single "Murda Bizness" featuring T.I.
