Kelly Johnson

Guitarist; Born June 20, 1958; Died July 15, 2007. Kelly Johnson, who has died aged 49, was the epitome of a rock chick. As guitarist with all-female quartet Girlschool, the band she joined at 19, she held her own musically in a world dominated by machismo. Even attitude and guitar licks, however, couldn't prevent Johnson's death after a six-year battle with spinal cancer.
