In a heartbreaking turn of events, Jill Sobule, the iconic singer behind the unforgettable anthem "I Kissed a Girl," has tragically passed away at the age of 66 due to a house fire in Minnesota.

Her manager, John Porter, poignantly remarked, "Jill Sobule was a force of nature and a tireless advocate for human rights. Her music is intricately woven into the fabric of our culture. Today, I've lost not just a client, but a dear friend. I hope her legacy will inspire many for years to come."

While the cause of the fire in Woodbury remains a mystery, Sobule leaves behind a powerful musical legacy that spans 12 albums, addressing vital issues like the death penalty, reproductive rights, and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

Debuting with her first album, "Things Here Are Different," in 1990, Sobule shot to fame in 1995 with smash hits like "Supermodel" from the beloved film "Clueless" and the controversial yet chart-topping "I Kissed A Girl." Despite being banned on several radio stations in the south, the song broke into the Billboard Top 20, solidifying her place in pop music history.

Sobule was set to take the stage for a performance in Denver this Friday, but instead, fans will gather in her honor to share stories and celebrate her life and artistry.

A formal memorial service is planned for later this summer, where friends, family, and fans will pay tribute to her remarkable journey.

Craig Grossman, her booking agent, expressed the deep loss felt within the music community, stating, "No one made me laugh more. Her vibrant spirit will be profoundly missed, both in music and beyond."
