Beverley Sisters Singer Joy Dies Aged 91.

Singer Joy Beverley, who found fame in the 1950s with her twin sisters, has died at the age of 91.

A family friend confirmed Beverley, 91, died on Monday after she reportedly suffered a stroke last week.

Her son, Vince, 67, told the Express & Star newspaper: "We all thought the world of her and we are devastated she is gone. We are a very close-knit family."

"She was a very bubbly, but private, character."

"We are all going to miss her terribly, she has been a part of our lives for so long now it really is going to be a big loss for all of us."

Joy was the eldest of the sisters. Twins Teddie and Babs were born in 1927.

Born in Bethnal Green, east London, the girls seemed destined to have a career in music.

Their parents were George and Victoria Beverley, who performed as a music hall duo.
