Disco legend Donna Summer has died after a battle with cancer, TMZ is reporting. She was 63 years old.

Insiders say she wanted to keep the disease quiet, and a friend said that as recently as two weeks ago, Summer seemed okay and was even finishing up work on a new album.

The five-time Grammy winner shot to fame in the 1970s with songs like 'Love to Love You Baby,' 'Hot Stuff' and 'Bad Girls,' and continued her reign on radio airwaves into the '80s with hits including 'She Works Hard for the Money' and 'This Time I Know It's for Real.'

Summer was also the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach No. 1 on the US Billboard chart.

I was born in the 80s, but didn't grow up listening to her music until I was a little bit older. My sisters are I used to make up dances to her songs all the time. She will always be a legend and music icon. Rest in Peace, Donna Summer!
