Carly Simon mourns sisters Joanna and Lucy, who died of cancer a day apart

While musician Carly Simon mourns the loss of her sisters, who died a day apart last week, the "You're So Vain" singer also said she can't do it without "celebrating the incredible lives that they lived."

Opera singer Joanna Simon, 85, died of thyroid cancer on Wednesday, and the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Lucy Simon, 82, died of metastatic breast cancer on Thursday.

"I am filled with sorrow to speak about the passing of Joanna and Lucy Simon. Their loss will be long and haunting," Simon, 77, said Saturday in a statement to the Associated Press.
