Grammy-winning singer/songwriter k.d. lang filed documents to end her nine-year-old domestic partnership with Jamie Price, according to TMZ.
Lang, 50, cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed on Dec. 28 to dissolve the relationship. The two reportedly met through their mutual Buddhist teacher.
A rep for Lang did not respond to a request for comment from People magazine.
Lang, a Canadian, was probably the first lesbian superstar. She was catapulted to fame after Roy Orbison invited her to sing a duet of “Crying” with him in 1987.
Lang’s biggest hit was “Constant Craving,” from her award-winning 1992 platinum album “Ingénue.” Prior to that, she’d been primarily known as a country western singer.
A gay rights as well as an animal rights activist, lang has said she met more resistance for the latter in Nashville.
Lang has become iconic in the LGBT for her unapologetic masculinity. She mocked it in the video for her hit song “Chatelaine” and posed for a famous Herb Ritts cover of Vanity Fair that showed her reclining in a barber’s chair while a barely dressed Cindy Crawford shaved her face.
