Rogers released a statement to a radio station in Houston, Texas, after the passing of his daughter, and explained a bit about what happened. According to Fox News, Rumer was diagnosed with a rare condition that ended up taking her life. The family will be sharing additional details at a later time.
“She died in our arms and in no pain. She was absolutely beautiful in every way. Her brain however was very sick. She died after a week-long battle with a very rare condition. 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.”
The Randy Rogers band has canceled at least one show in the wake of this tragedy. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, the band will be touring this summer.
Out of respect for the Rogers family, RRB will be canceling the show at the Lumberyard this Friday night. Thanks for understanding. -TeamRRB
