Carly Simon's two sisters, acclaimed mezzo-soprano and Emmy-winning TV correspondent Joanna Simon and composer Lucy Simon, died within a day of each other last week, the singer confirmed in a statement on Sunday.
"I am filled with sorrow to speak about the passing of Joanna and Lucy Simon," Carly Simon said in a statement. "Their loss will be long and haunting. As sad as this day is, it's impossible to mourn them without celebrating their incredible lives that they lived."
Joanna Simon, the eldest of four, died Wednesday, just a day before her sister Lucy died, according to Lucy's daughter, Julie Simon. Their brother Peter, a photographer, died in 2018 at 71. All three had cancer.
