[Joe Futrelle]

(CNN) -- Multi-instrumentalist Mary Hansen from the group Stereolab 
died Monday after she was hit by a car while riding a bicycle in 
London. Hansen, who was 36, joined Stereolab in 1992.

"It is with great regret and deep sadness that we announce the death 
of Mary Hansen, " the group's members said in an official statement. 
"The suddenness of her death has shocked the band. Mary was a special 
person. Our thoughts are with her family and friends who will miss 
her greatly."

The statement also said Hansen's funeral would be held next week in 
Brisbane, Australia, where she was born January 11, 1966.

Stereolab has recorded eight studio albums since the retro-pop group 
formed in 1990. The most recent album, "Sound-Dust" (Elektra) came 
out last year and debuted at No. 11 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
