Jill Sobule, the singer of the groundbreaking 1995 hit “I Kissed a Girl,” has tragically died.
The musician and songwriter perished in a Minneapolis, Minnesota, house fire early Thursday morning, several of her former colleagues confirmed to The Post. Sobule was 66.
She became a household name with “I Kissed a Girl,” which is widely viewed as the first openly gay-themed tune to make it into the Billboard Top 20.
Millennials will know Sobule for her song “Supermodel,” which was featured in the 1995 coming-of-age teen classic film “Clueless.”
The news of her death comes just one day before she was scheduled to perform.
Sobule was gearing up for “Jill Sobule presents: Songs From F–k 7th Grade & More” at Swallow Hill Music’s Tuft Theater in Denver, Colorado, on Friday, May 2.
