I saw that the lead singer on this was stabbed nearly 50 times in a frenzied attack by her neighbour.
She survived. This woman is made of the strongest of stuff.
Massive love to her and thankyou for giving me goosepimples with your incredible voice.

@marnanel

This. Much respect to her.

@user-wu7bj4np2r

No way!!!!! Cripes alive 😳😳😳

@josephh4999

She used to live or still lives in the estate I grew up in I used to see her riding a bike around, she always stood out when I see her for some reason I think I may be that she used to ride her bike with the straightest back ever but she clearly has talent and it’s a shame how she’s now ended up bless her!!

@ELACEBAL

Allways loved this version. It brings the classic rock to the dance floor but remaining the authentic essence of the original song.. The first time I listened I couldn't stop dancing.

@sandramckenzie4854

@rlucy926

Just read a Daily Mail article where lead singer of Goldbug, Sandra McKenzie is now broke and homeless...Sending good vibes along her way, I really hope she can get her life back together!!

@thataintaknife

She deserves to be broke and homeless after massacring this classic.
