The British star, known for her role in G.R.L. and LMFAO's hit song, passed away after battling mental health issues.
Lauren Bennett, the British singer who rose to fame as part of the group G.R.L. and through her appearance in the iconic music video for LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem', tragically took her own life at the age of 36. 123
Bennett, whose full name was Lauren Elizabeth Bennett, was discovered deceased in Kent on May 29, reportedly leaving behind farewell notes at her home. 13 She was previously diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome, a genetic condition that can affect cognitive development and social interactions, and was receiving special mental health care at the time of her passing. 12
In addition to her work with G.R.L., Bennett gained widespread recognition for her cameo in the 'Party Rock Anthem' video, which has amassed over 2.5 billion views on YouTube. The song was named the fifth most successful of all time by Billboard, having spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2011. 1
Her family and bandmates have expressed profound sorrow over her loss. Richard Bennett, Lauren’s father, shared his disappointment with the care provided by the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) for the five months leading up to her death. 3 Meanwhile, G.R.L. band members have fondly remembered Bennett, highlighting her warmth and talent. 2
Bennett is survived by her 7-year-old daughter, Harlow, whom she had with actor Kenny Wormald. There is conflicting information regarding whether Wormald used Find My iPhone to locate Bennett’s body; while some reports suggest he did, others contradict this claim. 1 3
