Soo Catwoman, the punk and fashion icon closely associated with the Sex Pistols, has died at the age of 70. The model, whose real name was Susan Lucas, passed away on Tuesday, September 30, after slipping into a coma.
Her children, Shem and Dion Lucas, announced her death, stating she “recently became unwell and was admitted to hospital, and shortly afterwards slipped into a coma, from which she tragically never recovered.” They described her as “a very kind and caring individual” and “a champion of the underdog.”
Soo Catwoman was a muse to the Sex Pistols and once lived with bassist Sid Vicious. She was portrayed by Iris Law, daughter of actor Jude Law, in Danny Boyle’s 2022 TV series Pistol. Her family noted she “never sought to capitalise on her fame, choosing a simple life” to raise her children.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to cover funeral costs and potentially establish a permanent memorial in her honour. The family said, “Due to the surprise nature of her death and lack of support available… we would like to ask if anyone would like to contribute.”
