Rufus & Martha Wainwright's Mother Kate McGarrigle DiesRufus and Martha Wainwright's mother Kate McGarrigle has died of cancer aged 63.

The folk singer passed away yesterday in her native Montreal surrounded by her friends and family after losing her battle with clear cell sarcoma.

Kate formed The McGarrigle Sisters with her sibling Anna in the late sixties and they went on to release ten albums together, the most recent being 2005's 'The McGarrigle Christmas Hour'.
