“It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of the Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie, died this morning,” Anita Pointer said in a statement.
Bonnie recorded five albums with sisters Ruth, Anita and June, co-writing the act’s country hit “Fairytale” with Anita.
Anita and Bonnie Pointer recently released “Feels Like June,” a song in honor of their sister June, who died in 2006.
“The Pointer Sisters would never have happened had it not been for Bonnie,” Anita said.
Bonnie is survived by brothers Aaron and Fritz and sisters Ruth and Anita Pointer.
