She was one of my absolute favorites! She will be missed!

I'm shocked.  I'd read that Poly had cancer, but had no idea she was so ill.  One of my all-time punk icons.  It's just not right.

On the cusp of a tour and a new solo disc out, this sucks. RIP woman!

I remember thinking how appropriate it was that the vid for "Oh Bondage" is featured in the Punk Rock section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I was so happy to see it there.  Deservedly so, freaking love it.

Sad stuff. 53 is awfully young.

[Kait Kennedy]

Possibly one of the most influential women in my life. She'll still have an impact on every teen girl that heres "Oh Bondage" for the first time. <3

Another one of the good guys gone. Poly was a human being. I can pay her no higher compliment. RIP

Aw, damn. That sucks.

[Mardy]

Stink buzz. Rest in Peace Poly.

[Thee Wild Wraith]

Very sad, I loved X-Ray Spex.

What a downer, very sad. Such a voice, such a personality, so much expression. RIP Poly
