Cousins!

Tyrese shocked fans across social media when he revealed she had been diagnosed with Covid-19. Unfortunately, his mother lost her battle with the disease. Now, the singer is doing a lot of self reflecting and feels he could’ve prevented her death!

The 43-year-old R&B singer/actor got candid surrounding his mother’s passing and the difficulty he’s currently facing of planning a funeral while taking all the precautions to prevent catching Covid-19. 

On his Instagram post, he writes,

“The most depressing and stressful thing I’ve ever experienced is getting emails and phone calls and paperwork on making burial plans and arrangements for my mother…… I am in no position to tell you what to do or not do…. I am just here to be transparent as I always am and to tell you to be safe out there and don’t let a news report or governmental update about mask or no mask dictate you living your ONE LIFE……. I only get one shot at this thing…. There’s only ONE TYRESE…. Just like there was only ONE PRISCILLA aka my beloved mother…..

People who know me know that I had an NBA bubble long before the NBA bubble….

Over 300+ people tested positive upon trying to visit or come to my home to perform a service and was sent away INSTANTLY…..”

The caption over the picture he posted with the quote writes:

“Double mask….triple vax’d don’t let em laugh at your for playing it safe out here…if only my mother lived with me I believe Covid wouldn’t have taken her away from me…”

Tyrese continued in addressing those who he feels haven’t been taking the virus seriously. The following day he offers another transparency post in regards to making his new album. His caption reads: 

“Honest Hour:

I got in the vocal booth as day 1 of #AlbumMode and I crashed and burned I was on with my engineer of 20+ years @richardfurchmix who’s always so patient and kind and honestly have became my therapist over the years cause I sing from a real place I just need someone to talk to often when I get knee deep into this process….. Listening to these songs are so triggering about this divorce and we just wrote a song for my mother damn….”

Towards the end of the post, Tyrese announces the name of his new album is ‘Beautiful Pain,’ he writes:

“I hope I don’t become so scared of my vulnerability where I dip and never release it……. Shoot me a prayer guys and send some inspirational healing energy….::::

Thanks for reading my heart tonight

The album is called #BeautifulPain” 

Losing a loved one is extremely hard to handle. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tyrese at this time.
