Lauren Bennett, British singer on Party Rock Anthem and G.R.L. member, dies at 37
Lauren Bennett, a British-born vocalist recognised internationally for her contributions to LMFAO's 2011 chart-topping single 'Party Rock Anthem,' has died at 37. Her passing was confirmed by her bandmates in G.R.L. on Monday, with members expressing their grief whilst withholding details about the cause. Bennett developed her musical career across several ensembles, beginning with competition appearances and progressing through the girl groups Paradiso Girls and G.R.L., whilst also pursuing independent projects.
Bennett's most prominent period came as part of G.R.L., a group assembled by industry figures Robin Antin and Jimmy Iovine. The ensemble achieved their strongest commercial performance with the 2014 collaboration 'Wild Wild Love' featuring Pitbull and the UK Top 20 single 'Ugly Heart.' The group's trajectory was significantly affected by the death of original member Simone Battle, leading to a hiatus, a brief reformation in 2016, and eventual disbandment in 2020. In her later career, Bennett pursued solo work and diversified her musical interests, recently releasing a country cover in early 2026.
