Singer Tyrese shared some heartbreaking news on Valentine’s Day. The “Sweet Lady” crooner announced the death of his mother, Priscilla Murray Gibson.
The 43-year-old Watts, Calif. native took to Instagram to alert fans who had been lifting Tyrese and his mother in prayer after she was hospitalized from complications of COVID-19 last week.
“On behalf of my family and everyone who ever spent any time praying tor my mother This is the saddest moment of my life………. My sweet Valentine just passed away….. May the Lord Jesus Christ and his angels open the doors of heavens and embrace her………. We as a family are broken and just can’t believe this……. May the Lord Jesus Christ honor your walk with him and embrace you into the heavens……. From here on I ask that you HOLD MY HAND, MOTHER, and never let my hand go………. Like you held my hand as a child and a teen never let my hand go mother…..”

“People are asking me how am I being so strong? I tell them simply……. I can’t allow what’s in front of me and what I’m seeing with my own eyes or listening to this doctors logic to supersede my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ….. between 5 and 5:30 pm today I’m going to be on my Instagram live and it’s going to be the most life-changing moment…. A moment that I am supposed to keep to myself but it’s going to much of a blessing for me to keep this to myself…….. See you soon! Set your alarm…… Jesus is in the MIRACLES BUSINESS…… If you agree say amen!!!!!”
“Life support, in a coma, with pneumonia and Covid but I still believe so,” Tyrese added. “Stand with my mother and family and write out your full prayers below…….#GodsNotDoneWithYouYetMother amen amen amen!!!!”
