Sandy Denny formed the short-lived band Fotheringay in 1970, before focusing on a solo career. Between 1971 and 1977, Denny released four solo albums: The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, Sandy, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, and Rendezvous. She also duetted with Robert Plant on “The Battle of Evermore” for Led Zeppelin’s album Led Zeppelin IV in 1971. Denny died in 1978 at the age of 31 due to injuries and health issues related to alcohol abuse.
How old was Sandy Denny when she died?
Sandy Denny was 31 years old at the time of her death. She was born on January 6, 1947, in Merton Park, London, United Kingdom and she died at 7:50 pm on April 21, 1978, without regaining consciousness from the coma. Her death was ruled to be the result of a traumatic mid-brain hemorrhage and blunt-force trauma to her head.
The funeral took place on 27 April 1978 at Putney Vale Cemetery. After the vicar had read Denny’s favorite psalm, Psalm 23, a piper played “Flowers of the Forest”, a traditional song commemorating the fall of Flodden Field and one which had appeared on the 1970 Fairport album Full House.
Denny was survived by her child named Georgia Lucas and her husband named Trevor Lucas, her parents named Edna Denny and Neil Denny. Since there was no will on how her property is to be shared, her son will inherit her money and estate.
