She is a soprano coloratura angry opera to popular music, the singer became star of Poland in Las Vegas, caberet artists trapped for years behind the iron curtain when he flew home to tend to her mother who is dying. Singer Violetta Villas, 73, died late Monday at his home in Lewin Klodzki, a village in South Poland, local police spokesman Pawel Petrykowski told the Associated Press. Prosecutors have ordered an autopsy to determine cause of death, he said Tuesday.
The Villa is also known as a colorful personality who refused to bend the career requirements. Since the late 1980s, he has given only occasional performances and sometimes failed to show up for recording studio. In recent years, he lived alone and run animal shelters, but the shelter had to be closed due to overcrowding and lack of care.
