A Fife country singer has died following a six-year battle with cancer.
Jackie Storrar passed away in Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospice.
Only three weeks ago she had released a legacy album which is raising funds for Maggie’s Fife cancer caring centre.
Edinburgh-born Jackie, who grew up in Kirkcaldy, was determined not to let her diagnosis with terminal cancer three years ago stop her from making music.
She had several top 10 hits in the UK country charts, including a cover of Motörhead’s Ace of Spades which reached number one in 2007.
Her musician husband Steve Thiebault posted on her Facebook page last night: “With a heavy heart, I must tell you all that Jackie’s life has come to an end.
“She was surrounded by love and slipped away peacefully in the night at Victoria Hospice in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
“After six years of fighting cancer and bravely making the most out of every moment, it was finally her time.
“Whilst I am devastated, I would like to take this moment to thank you all for your support over the years.
“It really has made an amazing difference to us both.”
At the weekend, Steve, who wed Jackie in 2003, revealed her health had taken a turn for the worse over the previous few days.
Jackie’s album, Behind Her Eyes, which she made with Steve, was launched at Maggie’s Fife on August 23
She had worked as a radio presenter in Scotland and Malta, a singer on cruise ships and wrote and performed with Steve.
The couple also ran a record label Parrothouse Records.
Jackie was inducted to the country music hall of fame in October, last year.
