Singer and TV judge Sass Jordan dies on Friday, her family confirms. Multiple outlets report she dies peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, and that her family remembers her as someone known for joy and warmth.
Born in Britain, Jordan later becomes a Canadian music figure. Billboard and Variety note she is a singer and songwriter and has success in rock and blues, including winning a Juno Award in 1989. Several sources also highlight her television role, saying she serves as a judge on “Canadian Idol” for all six seasons.
Outlets differ slightly on reported age and specific date framing. The Mirror says she is 63 and mentions the day of death without a year, while Variety and Billboard report she is 65 and specify the death date as Oct. 2. Despite these differences, all sources agree on her identity, her family-confirmed passing, and her prominence as both a recording artist and an “Idol” judge.
