Sophie, Trans Musician Dies in Accident
The BBC carried a report that Sophie, the electronic music performer died on Saturday at 4am in Athens. Her label, Transgressive, wrote "Sophie was a pioneer of a new sound, one of the most influential artists in the last decade,".
A statement from Sophie's record label, explained how the "terrible accident" had occurred.
"True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and slipped and fell". "She will always be here with us."
Sophie was also known as a transgender icon, after affirming their identity in the 2017 video for It's Okay To Cry.
The musician, who preferred not to use gendered pronouns, told Billboard that being trans meant "taking control to bring your body more in line with your soul and spirit so the two aren't fighting against each other and struggling to survive".
We go out with "It's Okay to Cry."
