The musician — full name Melanie Safka — died on Tuesday, her record label Cleopatra also confirmed.

“This is the hardest post for us to write, and there are so many things we want to say, first, and there’s no easy way except to say it… Mom passed, peacefully, out of this world and into the next on January 23rd, 2024,” her children shared in a Facebook announcement.

“這對我們來說是最難寫的帖子，我們有很多話想說，首先，除了說出來，沒有別的簡單的方法……媽媽在2024年1月23日平靜地離開了這個世界，進入了另一個世界，”她的孩子們在臉書上分享道。

“We are heartbroken, but want to thank each and every one of you for the affection you have for our Mother, and to tell you that she loved all of you so much!” wrote her children. “She was one of the most talented, strong and passionate women of the era and every word she wrote, every note she sang reflected that.”

“我們很傷心，但要感謝你們每一個人對我們母親的愛，并告訴你們，她非常愛你們所有人!”她的孩子們寫道。“她是那個時代最有才華、最堅強、最熱情的女性之一，她寫的每一個字、唱的每一個音符都反映了這一點。”

“Our world is much dimmer, the colors of a dreary, rainy Tennessee pale with her absence today, but we know that she is still here, smiling down on all of us, on all of you, from the stars," their statement continued.

他們在聲明中繼續(xù)說道:“今天，她的離去讓我們的世界變得更加暗淡，沉悶多雨的田納西州的色彩變得蒼白，但我們知道，她仍然在這里，從星星上向我們所有人微笑，向你們所有人微笑。”

No information on the cause of death was immediately given, but Cleopatra mentioned an “illness” in their statement. 

沒有關于死亡原因的信息，但克利奧帕特拉在聲明中提到了“疾病”。

In honor of their mother, Melanie's children asked fans to light a candle at 10 p.m. CT on Wednesday evening.

為了紀念他們的母親，梅勒妮的孩子們要求粉絲們在周三晚上10點點燃蠟燭。
