Her Debilitating Disease

In 1985, Renee was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system, causing damage to the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. That damage can greatly affect a person mentally, physically and psychologically. Although Renee was beginning to suffer from some of her symptoms in 1985, she didn’t let that stop her from completing their tour and she never let it show on stage. She was a true warrior. *SCROLL TO SEE WHAT SHE ULTIMATELY PASSED AWAY FROM*

Renee & Boyfriend/Starpoint Singer Kept Working After Split

After Starpoint broke up in 1990, Renee and her long time boyfriend and Starpoint founder and lead guitarist, Ernesto Phillips (Renee is leaning on Ernesto in the photo below), created music for her album, Oasis, which released in Europe initially and after that, Renee created the Renée Diggs Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis to raise awareness about MS. She continued to struggle with her health, but she also continued to create music throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Renee Died Soon After From This…

Then sadly, that following year on March 18, 2005, just one week prior to the one year death anniversary of her man, Ernesto, Renee succumbed to an underlying heart condition…starpoint renne diggs album
Technically speaking, Renee Diggs died from a heart condition, but some might argue that she died from her heart’s condition. Her heart’s condition was broken- she was heartbroken over Ernesto and sometimes they say that type of grief can possibly create, or even worsen already existing health issues. This is just speculation, but it’s not unheard of.

Starpoint lost two of their beloved and talented key players in their band and they will forever be missed, but their legacies of what they contributed to R&B music will never die. We, here at ILoveOldSchoolMusic, will strive to do our part to make sure that their memories as great artists, great musicians, and great people, continue to live on as well. May Renee Diggs and Ernesto Phillips continue to rest peacefully.

Reminisce with us to these jams…

  1. Существует такая услуга – добровольное медицинское обслуживание (или ДМО).
    Она предполагает, что вы вносите небольшую сумму за то, что ходит на прием в течение года БЕСПЛАТНО.
    Однако опросы показывают, что лишь 4% жителей Санкт-Петербурга знают об этом.
    Почему так происходит?
    Потому что частным клиникам выгоднее сдирать с людей деньги за каждый визит.
    А если какой-нибудь сотрудник клиники попытается посоветовать добровольное медицинское обслуживание клиенту – это сулит ему увольнением.
    Эта информация уже вызвала много возмущений, после того как информацию об этом распространил один возмущенный врач.
    Его уволили , после того, как он предложил ДМО постоянному клиенту.
    Самое удивительное, что официальные положения по ДМО присутствуют в открытом доступе, просто находили на эту информацию единицы.
    Как отстоять свои права?
    О правилах оказания услуги и обязанностях частных клиник можно узнать, просто вбив в Яндекс фразу: “добровольное медицинское обслуживание”.
    И именно обслуживание, а не страхование.
