New Zealand singer Margaret Urlich has died aged 57 after a two year battle with cancer.
Urlich died in New South Wales and had moved to Australia during the 1980s to pursue her singing career.
She started out as co-lead singer with Peking Man which had a number one single in 1985 in Aotearoa with the song Room That Echoes.
Urlich went on to be a member of the group When the Cat's Away before going on to a successful solo career in both New Zealand and Australia.
She won best female vocalist at the New Zealand Music Awards four times in the 80's and 90's and was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in 2021.
Dianne Swann, a bandmate from When the Cat's away, spoke to Morning Report.
