Christine Joy "Chrissy" Amphlett (; 25 October 1959 – 21 April 2013) was an Australian singer, songwriter and actress who was the frontwoman of the Australian rock band Divinyls. Amphlett grew up in her home town of Geelong in Victoria, Australia as a singer and dancer. She left home as a teenager and travelled to England, France and Spain—she was imprisoned for three months in the latter country for singing on the streets.〔''Pleasure and Pain: My Life'' by Chrissy Amphlett with Larry Writer. ISBN 0-7336-1959-2. Published by Hachette Livre Australia (formerly Hodder Headline Australia), November 2005〕 In May 2001, Divinyls' "Science Fiction", written by Amphlett and lead guitarist Mark McEntee, was selected by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time. Amphlett and McEntee barely spoke after the band separated in 1996, but resumed contact when they were inducted in 2006 into the ARIA Hall of Fame—the pair eventually announced a new tour and album. Amphlett died in 2013 after a long battle with breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.〔 Her contribution to the arts and legacy have been honoured by having a Melbourne central city laneway named "Amphlett Lane" in her honour, complete with a commemorative plaque and two artworks. ==Divinyls== (詳細はMark McEntee at a concert at the Sydney Opera House in 1980, and with Jeremy Paul (Air Supply), they formed Divinyls. After several years performing in Sydney, they recorded several songs for the film ''Monkey Grip'', in which Amphlett also acted. Divinyls consisted of an ever-changing line-up formed around Amphlett and McEntee, whose relationship was always volatile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chrissy Amphlett Dead After Losing Cancer Battle )〕 Nevertheless, the band released six albums between 1982 and 1996, peaking in 1991 with the success of their single "I Touch Myself", which reached Number 1 in Australia, Number 4 in the USA, Number 10 in the UK. Divinyls did not release another album for six years, breaking up around the time of ''Underworlds release in Australia. Amphlett lived in New York City with her husband, concentrating on a solo career and writing her autobiography, ''Pleasure and Pain: My Life''. Amphlett and McEntee barely spoke after the band broke up, but resumed contact when they were inducted in the 2006 ARIA Hall of Fame and eventually announced a new tour and album.〔 They recorded and released a single, "Don't Wanna Do This", and toured Australia, but the proposed reunion album was never made. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chrissy Amphlett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
