Lauren Bennett, a talented singer known for her work on LMFAO’s hit song “Party Rock Anthem” and as part of the girl group G.R.L., has passed away at the age of 37. The news of her death was shared by her former G.R.L. bandmates in a heartfelt tribute that honored her “beautiful spirit” and the significant impact she had on those who knew her best.

They spoke of the love, laughter, and countless memories she brought into their lives, stressing that her spirit was truly special and had touched many hearts. They signed off their tribute with a heartfelt message, bidding farewell to Lauren and promising to keep her memory alive in their hearts.
While Lauren Bennett gained international recognition for her collaboration on LMFAO’s mega-hit “Party Rock Anthem,” she later joined G.R.L., a girl group formed by choreographer Robin Antin as a successor to the iconic Pussycat Dolls. Alongside her bandmates Emmalyn Estrada, Natasha Slayton, Paula Van Oppen, and the late Simone Battle, Bennett helped solidify the group’s presence with songs like “Ugly Heart” and “Lighthouse.” Simone Battle’s tragic death in 2014 had initially disrupted the group’s lineup, but they regrouped in 2016 and continued with their music and tours over the years, even planning to release new music as of 2021.
Bennett leaves behind a six-year-old daughter named Harlow, whom she shared with dancer and actor Kenny Wormald. Representatives for Bennett’s family did not disclose further details about the circumstances of her passing, leaving fans and admirers mourning the loss of a talented artist who brought joy and energy to their lives.
The music industry has once again been touched by loss with the untimely passing of Lauren Bennett, a talented artist whose contributions to LMFAO and G.R.L. will always be remembered. Her legacy lives on through her music and the memories she created with her bandmates, friends, and fans. We join in honoring Lauren’s life and the impact she had on the music world, forever cherishing her spirit and the joy she brought into our lives. Rest in peace, Lauren Bennett.
