Keyshia Cole's Birth Mother's Death
In early reports, Keyshia Cole's mother, Frankie Lons, passed away in July. She ended her own life during her birthday. She was 61 years old.
Her younger sister, Elite, broke the news on her Instagram stories by writing, "Worse pain ever....to see my mama in a body bag on her birthday! My heart so f-kin broke."
According to another news outlet, Frankie was partying at her home in Oakland to celebrate her birthday. The matriarch unfortunately relapsed and overdosed to her death.
Her brother, Sam, revealed that Frankie was struggling with her addiction over the past years; he reportedly checks on her every day to ensure she never takes any substance.
The singer has been open with her mother's addiction over the past years. She previously dedicated a post to her in 2018 saying her heart breaks whenever she relapses.
"I'm hoping, if any of u are dealing with a family member who's battling with drug addiction, that you, yourself are learning how to cope with the struggle of it all," she wrote. (via Daily Mail)
