(12/11/02, 6 p.m. ET) -- Stereolabvocalist Mary Hansen died Monday (December 9) in London when she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle. She was 36.

An official statement said: "The suddenness of her death has shocked the band. Mary was a special person. Our thoughts are with her family and friends who will miss her greatly."

Stereolab formed in 1990 and Australian native Hansen joined the London-based band in 1992. The group has recorded eight studio albums the most recent of which was 2001's Sound-Dust.

Hansen was born January 11, 1966 in Maryborough, Brisbane. The band says her funeral will take place next week in her hometown.
