Nearly right it was leukaemia. Lovely girl such a tragic way to go.

This is what wikipedia say...

Melanie Susan Appleby (11 July 1966 - 18 January 1990) was one half of the 1980s English pop duo Mel and Kim.

Born in Hackney, London, Appleby initially worked as a glamour model (In 1987 she did a photo shoot for Mayfair) and then joined her sister Kim Appleby to form Mel and Kim, enjoying considerable chart success during the late 1980s.

She died of pneumonia following treatment for spinal cancer on 18 January 1990. Appleby was first diagnosed with cancer in December 1985, prior to the success of Mel & Kim, when she had an operation to remove a large tumour on her liver. The cancer returned to her spine in mid 1987. During her lengthy health problems towards the end of her life, her condition was for some time rumoured to be a spinal disc herniation resulting from the energetic dance routines performed by the pair. However, after initial denials of the seriousness of her condition were released, the fact that she was suffering from cancer was eventually confirmed. She died at the age of twenty three.

Thankfully petfruitcar ID'ed this naturally wonderful gal for me, so this thread was a nice discovery

I am sorry to hear Mel has passed away, though

Keeping her memory alive, I've got a few scans from ALBUM international No. 2 1987. The pages was scanned in 300DPI, then optimized in Photoshop 10 CS3 (noise/dust removal+gaussian blur+unsharp mask+surface blur+ brightness/contrast adjusted). The full pages have been resized to 150DPI, but the single images is the original 300DPI scans. You can PM me for personal requests if you want further adjustments (I can't rescan the pages for the moment, but I can modify the original 300 DPI scans).

There's a couple of reposts, but my scans should be "different".

Hope ya'll enjoy'em
