POINTER'S MISERABLE LAST FEW MONTHS

LATEST: Tragic disco star JUNE POINTER's final months were miserable, according to sister and former bandmate BONNIE POINTER - she was paralysed and unable to speak.

The POINTER SISTERS star lost her fight with breast, liver, colon and bone cancer on Tuesday (11APR06) after a decade-long battle with drug and alcohol abuse.

Bonnie says, "My baby sister had a stroke at the end of February (06). Then they found she had cancer."

The SLOW HAND singer, 52, was surrounded by members of her family when she passed away in a Santa Monica, California hospital.

After the successes of June and her siblings in the 1970s and 1980s, the youngest Pointer sister was kicked out of the group when her abuse problems led to a string of missed shows.
