Remembered as unflinchingly honest, a force of nature, eloquent, passionate and fiercely talented, Sydney-based poet, performer, storyteller, educator and activist Candy Royalle died on Saturday 23 June aged 37.
In a statement of her Facebook page the following day, Royalle’s family said: ‘She passed … in peace, after years of struggling with her illness. For those of you lucky enough to know Candy or see her perform, you would know that her strength, power, conviction, and all encompassing love was beyond anything that can be described, so we will not try now.’
