Legendary Aussie rocker Chrissy Amphlett has died, aged 53 after a long battle with cancer.

Amphlett passed away overnight in New York, where she lived with her husband, surrounded by family and friends.

Although there is no official cause of death, Amphlett had battled multiple sclerosis for almost 15 years, and had suffered from breast cancer in 2010.

Her cousin Patricia `Little Pattie' Thompson described the singer as a true pioneer for women in music.
