Incredibly sad to hear this news - The Detroit Cobras were one of my favourite bands of the early '00s. 'Life, Love and Leaving' from 2001 in particular is an absolute monster album. I actually dug it out just last week whilst making a nostalgic mixtape for a friend's 40th birthday. Passes the "yep, still holds up" test with flying colours.
Their stuff also played a big role in inspiring my younger self to develop an interest in vintage soul/r'n'b, for which I am eternally grateful.
They were always top of my list of "bands I really want to see live", but never managed to (I don't think they visited the UK very often, if at all), and now I never will. Always hate that particular feeling.
Obviously I don't know the story here, but if the band were planning new activity I guess Rachel's death must fall into the sudden/unexpected category, so - awful. Really sad to hear, and R.I.P. to a world class shouter.

So strange in retrospect to think that two awesome tribute albums to black music came out of the same city in the same year.... and (arguably) now sound more vital than most of the bands from that scene who were playing original material.
