My heart goes out to Scotty McCreery and his family during this incredibly difficult time. The country music singer shared a heartbreaking update, revealing that he has lost both of his grandmothers, Janet and Paquita, who passed away just hours apart on Wednesday.
In a touching Instagram post, McCreery, who won American Idol in 2011, shared a photo of himself with his grandmothers on his wedding day. He wrote about the profound shock and sadness he’s feeling, but also reflected on the beautiful memories they shared. He recalled cherished moments like being on the farm in Elizabeth City and trips to the Outer Banks with Grandma Janet, and the wonderful times spent at the backyard pool with Grandma Paquita.
The loss of two family matriarchs so close together is an unimaginable tragedy. The outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow artists shows just how much people care for Scotty and his family. Their legacies will undoubtedly live on through him and his music.
