Bonnie Pointer, a founding member of The Pointer Sisters, passed away on Monday, June 8 at age 69 in Los Angeles, California.
“It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of the Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie died this morning,” said Anita.
But earlier this year, she and Anita released the song “Feels Like June” to honor their sister June Pointer, who passed away from cancer in 2006.
Bonnie Pointer is survived by sisters Ruth and Anita and brothers Aaron and Fritz.
“The Pointer Sisters never would have happened had it not been for Bonnie,” said Anita in her statement.
