Tanya Tucker’s mom passes away

Oh man, I think we’ve found the reason behind Tanya Tucker canceling her December show in New York due to undisclosed health reasons that I talked about yesterday.

It was announced this morning that Tanya Tucker’s mother, Juanita, passed away on Tuesday, October 2, 2012.

As of right now, that is all I know. I will bring more info if I find anything.

My condolences sincerely go out to Tanya and her family.

Tanya doesn’t tweet very often, but fans can leave their thoughts on her Twitter (@tanya_tucker).

UPDATE: Tanya’s daughter Presley had this to say on Twitter. Thank you all for the prayers. My Granny lived a long happy life, but now she’s flying high in heaven with her other sparrow.

Beautiful.

Juanita, mom, Tanya Tucker
