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

Hey, I'm Shannon and I'm the founder and Queen Bee of this crazy place we call NashvilleGab. A few things about me - I'm pretty much a nerd, I'm obsessive about weird things, I suck at selfies, and I tend to make corny jokes that only truly awesome people will appreciate. Oh, and I'm the queen of the random comma. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Lynn Anderson passes away: A longer bio for those interested

As I mentioned earlier, Lynn Anderson passed away last night at the age of 67. Despite being saddened by her death, I’m really not very good at summing up people’s lives in a tidy little package. That said, here’s the full press release I received in my inbox a few moments ago announcing Lynn’s passing for those who like to know less about the death and more about the life of great singers from the past.
