"Jimmy and I became closer because of our cancers," said Laurie, who is now cancer-free after undergoing treatment."We talked before and after our scans... We shared a club that nobody wants to join."The singer died on Sept. 1,"Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of Sept. 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs," read a statement posted to the singer's social media pages late Friday.
