Randy Rogers’ newborn daughter sadly passes away

Story updated below.

Oh wow. This is news no one should ever have to share.

Just a week after Randy Rogers Band lead singer Randy Rogers announced on Twitter the birth of his daughter, Rumer Rain, news comes now that the infant has sadly passed away.

From Randy’s publicist Heather:

Rumer Rain Rogers, daughter of Randy and Chelsea Rogers, passed away last night at Seton Memorial Hospital in Austin, Texas. Rumer died of natural causes, in her parents loving arms, just days after her birth. During this time of grieving, the family asks that individuals wishing to offer condolences make a donation to the children’s charity of their choosing.

I just don’t even know what to say. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to Randy and his wife.

Update: The Randy Rogers Band now has the above statement posted on their Facebook page and Randy has released a heartbreaking statement of his own:

“Good morning. Rumer passed away last night. She died after a week long battle with a very rare condition. She died in our arms and in no pain. She was absolutely beautiful in every way. Her brain however was very sick. I’m sure you all have many questions and we have all the answers the doctors gave us. We can share the story with you. It’s quite an extraordinary one. A memorial will be planned soon. We love you.”
