Tyrese’s Mother Priscilla Passes Away After Battling COVID-19 and Pneumonia

Priscilla Murray, the mother of Tyrese Gibson, has passed away after battling COVID-19 and pneumonia.

Monday on Instagram, the “Fast & Furious” actor revealed the devastating news while posting a video of him caressing his mother’s hand.

“On behalf of my family and everyone who ever spent anytime praying [for] my mother. This is the saddest moment of my life………. My sweet Valentine just passed away….. May the lord Jesus Christ and his angels open the doors of heavens and embrace her………. We as a family are broken and just can’t believe this,” he wrote.

“May the lord Jesus Christ honor your walk with him and embrace you into the heavens……. From here on I ask that you HOLD MY HAND MOTHER and never let my hand go………. Like you held my hand as a child and a teen never let my hand go mother.”

Earlier this month, the singer said he got word about his mother’s health while filming a new movie.

“In the middle of filming and just got the worst phone call I’ve ever gotten… I just had to ask the director let me pause for a second close my eyes and pray…. My mother is in a coma, in ICU, with Pneumonia and she caught Covid. They got her so sedated she can’t breathe or even eat on her own,” he said.

Last week, Tyrese said that doctors told him “there’s pretty much nothing else that can be done to turn things around” regarding his mother’s status.

On Monday, Tyrese also expressed gratitude to jazz artist Kenny G, who played “Forever in Love” during an Instagram Live for Gibson and his mom while in the hospital.

“Dear @kennyg I will never ever forget what you did for our beloved mother. You sent her into the heavens with the perfect melody………. I am going to watch this clip over and over and remember that you sent her into the heavens on the sweetest Melodies….”
