Jazz singer Jacqui Magno passes away; fellow artists remember her music
Singer Jacqui Magno has passed away, her cousin, talent manager Girlie Rodis, confirmed in a post on social media.
"Very few people know that Jacqui and I are related. We are cousins. We were closer when we were younger.... but her passing is still a shock. Gone too soon. #JacquiMagno Rest In Peace," Rodis posted on Instagram on Friday.
Magno was one of the vocalists of the famous Circus Band along with Pat Castillo, Tillie Moreno, Basil Valdez, Hajji Alejandro and Richard Tan.
According to an article on Pep.ph, Magno succumbed to pancreatic cancer. She was 65.

"Rest In Peace, Jacqui Magno. I still remember the first time we took a trip to Singapore as ASEAN representatives with Ray-An Fuentes, Grace Amilbangsa, Lorrie Ilustre, Florante de Leon and Tony Espejo. Your voice which was able to soothe even the most savage of beasts is something I’ll never forget. Rest with the angels now," singer and theater actress Lea Salonga posted on Facebook.
"RIP Jacqui Magno," wrote Dennis Garcia of the Hotdog band.
RIP Jacqui Magno
