Natasha was surrounded by her family when she died at St Vincent's Hospital on Wednesday.

During a career spanning two decades Natasha sang backup for numerous artists, including Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Anthony Callea, Boy George, Michael Bolton, Tim Campbell and many others.

She appeared on the hit reality singing competition to share her story to encourage young women to be vigilant about checking their breasts through regular breast examinations.

Her bio on The Voice added: "Singing is a way of healing for her and is her escape from the harsh medical treatment. She’s more than ready to say ‘F*&% CANCER’ and be a beacon of light to others who are also suffering."

Official hair update. 🤣 So... it's actually growing really well. Same colour and texture as #prechemo but that means it's gonna take a long time before it actually looks "long". I'm ok with that though! 💃 This is 10 & a half months #postchemohair growth 15 & a half months since I lost it all. April was the first time I had enough to walk outside without a hat so it's done well. 👏👏👏 I've only felt like it's been a "vibe" this month. I need crazy, messy, curly hair to feel like me and it's now getting to be that again. ☺️ . So.... yeah! Haha. . . . . . . . . #curlyhairdontcare #pixiecut #shortcurlyhair #chemohairgrowth #tnbc #breastcancerthriver #iamnotmyhair #alsoiamtotallymyhair #curlygirls #curlyhair #natashadenonagoldpalette

A number of people took to her Instagram to express their condolences.

Russell Crowe's ex-wife Danielle Spencer said: "So so sad to hear of your passing. Rip beautiful girl."

One wrote: "I’m reading this with the heaviest heart. I’m going to miss our hangs. 💔 love you."

Another said: "This is such sad news! I loved following your journey! Another angel has grown her wings 😢 Rest easy and never stop singing your song xx"

What an awesome night last night was! I am so incredibly happy that I chose to take part in @thevoiceau this year. Going on a show like that is always a leap of faith... you never know what is going to happen let alone how you'll be received. For some reason, I decided that the right time to put myself onto national television was while I was going through one of the most vulnerable periods of my life but I am so glad I did! It was amazing to go through a rebirth of sorts on a show like this and the fact that I've had such an incredible, positive response is beyond anything I could've expected. . The cast & crew were out of this world. It was a truly wonderful experience. So happy for @dianarouvas that she has finally been recognised for her incredible gift! . I hope that everyone who's enjoyed performers on The Voice this year will continue to follow and support them through their next endeavours as that's where we'll need all of you! In the meantime... here's just a few pics of some of the wonderful people I got to know and some who I had the joy of reconnecting with during the last few months. ❤️ . . . . #thevoiceau #teamdelta #teamguy #teamgeorge #teamkelly #singers #afterparty #whataride #livemusic #thevoice #australiantalent #awesomepeople

Natasha sat down with New Idea last year to discuss being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at the age of 41.

"I just said to my doctors, 'Aren't I too young?'" Natasha tells New Idea.

After coming to terms with her diagnosis, Natasha had to undergo a lumpectomy and a strenuous bout of chemotherapy, but music kept her going.

"The way I stayed positive through chemo was to go and do my gigs," she said.

"Getting up on stage in a wig and being a normal girl was the best thing for me because it was a complete escape. I didn’t look like a cancer patient and no-one would know because I was busting out some Rihanna."

📷 @capturedbymartin Last week at Django bar @camelot_lounge! Thank you so much to all who came down... @josephcalderazzo and I had so much fun sharing the music with you all! Hopefully we can do more shows like that - maybe even around the country?! It's definitely something I'd like to work towards. The hair I'm wearing in the photo is also something I'd like to work towards. 🤣 . . . . #wigoftheday #samsbeauty #djangobar #josephcalderazzo #ccent #natashastuart #camelotlounge #livemusic #keepsydneyopen #acousticmusic

After having several scans and discussions with her doctors, Natasha knew that the only way she would get piece of mind that her cancer wouldn’t return was if she got a double mastectomy.

Of course, at the time Natasha didn’t know if she would make it through the Blind Auditions on The Voice. But, she did! So, the brave singer decided to undergo her surgery during a break from filming.

"But then I got through and it was the best thing to take my mind off surgery because I had something fun to focus on. I thought what a gift after all the pain of chemo," she said.

Natasha said at the time that her experience on the show was extra special to work with her coach, Delta Goodrem, who also went through her own cancer battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
