Věra Špinarová
Věra Špinarová (22 December 1951 – 26 March 2017) was a Czech singer. She was born in Pohořelice, Czechoslovakia, and moved to Ostrava, now Czech Republic, with her parents at the age of seven. She learned to play the violin as a child.
She performed with the Flamingo band in the late 1960s. Her first LP entitled Andromeda came out in 1972 under the Panton label, the rest were published under the Supraphon label. In 1972 she married Ivo Pavlík. They divorced in 1984. Her second husband, Vítězslav Vávra, was a singer and drummer.[1]
On 26 March 2017, Špinarova suffered a heart attack at a concert in Čáslav and died.[2] Days prior, she appeared alongside Martin Dejdar, who imitated her, on stage in the Czech version of Your Face Sounds Familiar.
