A PUNK icon has died aged 66 after a short battle with cancer.
Jordan Mooney, real name Pamela Rooke, died in her hometown of Seaford surrounded by her family at 9 p.m. on Sunday April 3.
The “punk queen” succumbed to a “relatively rare form of cancer known as cholangiocarcinoma” which is cancer of the bile ducts.
The fashion icon was well known in London’s punk subculture with her sense of style and dress – a bleached platinum blonde haircut and dark raccoon eye makeup.
She worked with fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and was also seen at many early Sex Pistols performances in the 1970s.
In a statement, his family said: “It is with the greatest sadness that the family of Jordan Mooney announces that she has passed away at the age of 66.
