So long to the one and only— Chris Granger (@chris_granger) #chrisowens. An era has ended. The legendary Chris Owens, the queen of Bourbon Street has passed away. A truly original New Orleanian has passed. I loved legendary Bourbon Street performer Chris Owens! She once called me up on stage during French Quarter Fest to dance with her! She also used to call me her honey bunny! I am heart broken today.

Owens has been on Bourbon Street since the 1960s when she and her husband opened her club up and she began performing.

The queen of Bourbon Street and a fixture in New Orleans nightlife since the 1950s has passed away.

Sol died in 1978, but the home they’d made together became the place to be for elaborate events over the decades. “I came back in the late 50s and met my husband, who was in the automobile business. She and her husband had a home Uptown but decided to make the Quarter their home and business base. May she rest in God’s perfect peace.” “That was my first look at New Orleans, the most exciting place I’d ever seen in my life,” Owens said. Automobile dealer Sol Owens showed the girl who grew up on a farm near Abilene a life she’d never seen.

Beloved New Orleans icon Chris Owens has passed away, her manager and close friend Kitsy Adams confirmed on Tuesday.

This was the first time I met her in the late 90’s. Rest In Peace, Chris Owens— isiscasanova (@isiscasanova) pic.twitter.com/3Iefhsc6EP April 5, 2022 Chris Owens will always be part of the history & heart of Bourbon Street ❤️ April 5, 2022 I remember seeing her at Trey Yuen once when I was a kid. She spoke about her childhood, her family, her late husband, & so many other aspects of a truly intriguing life you don’t see beyond the stage. The first time I was invited into her magical home she gave me a tour & graciously told stories. So long to the one and only— Chris Granger (@chris_granger) #chrisowens. An era has ended.

Sol died in 1978, but the home they’d made together became the place to be for elaborate events over the decades. “Somebody who gave me a different side of life that I wasn’t really used to if you knew me five years ago from today, not the same person. May she rest in God’s perfect peace.” “That was my first look at New Orleans, the most exciting place I’d ever seen in my life,” Owens said. “She was always that quiet hero from the man on the street, to the child in the hospital, to whatever she was a part of, she gave her life to here on the corner of Bourbon and St. Louis, to everyone,” Owens’ publicist and business manager of 36 years, Kitsy Adams said.

New Orleans' legendary street performer Chris Owens' has passed away at 89. Here's a look at the star's impressive net worth.

“I came back in the late 50s and met my husband, who was in the automobile business. “So after a while, we built a stage and I started dancing on it instead of the dance floor. “That was my first look at New Orleans, the most exciting place I’d ever seen in my life,” Chris said in an earlier interview. During one of her travels to Havana, Cuba, Chris became inspired by the showgirls there. It just went from there,” Chris told in an interview. But, life had other plans for the star.
