Tina Grimmie, the mother of the late 'The Voice' season 6 contestant Christina Grimmie, has died after a long battle with breast cancer.

 

You may recall the gay nightclub got shot up in Orlando the same day Grimmie was murdered by a ‘fan’.  I created this gem:

It's a bit confusing.  Esai Morales is not ill,  he is calling for prayers for Bob Morales ( no relation ) who apparently is quite sick. Esai played Bob in a movie about Ritchie Valens.  Bob is Ritchie's older brother. Yeah?

Gospel music artist Kirk Franklin just met his real father (he was adopted at 4 yrs old), who contacted him after being given 3-6 months to live.  
“So…..Two days ago, I received an anonymous call that my biological father, who I never knew, has 3-6 months to live. I’ve lived my entire life hating this man. He and my biological mother gave me up for adoption, and it left me never feeling good enough….to this very day.  

I took my hate for him and used it as fuel to be the best father I could be for my own. But what I did wrong, is I never took that fuel, and turn it into forgiveness….and that is wrong. Wrong for him, me, and the God I proclaim to represent.

How can I preach what I don’t practice. So I flew to Houston yesterday to do that. It’s painful, it’s a process, but how disappointed I would be in myself for this man to leave this earth without being forgiven. He deserves to receive what God gives me everyday. Pray for him, and for me. God this is hard…I weep as I write.”

Gord Downie of Tragically Hip and his tribute act Darren Sawchuk.

 

Downie got obits across the board here as Hip were one of those cult overseas acts (obv fucking massive in Canada though).

 

Sawchuk got fuck all. Because he wasn't.

 

(Also because the idiot died in February...)

Yep, that sort of thing.

That's the pair.

 

I felt Sawchuck wouldn't obit if he died first, but would if second.

 

Thin lines for pooling.

 A driver of former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf was sent to jail on Sunday after he had run over a motorcyclist on the Islamabad Expressway a day before.

Abid Nawaz, the driver, had been driving a government-owned land cruiser allotted to the former premier when he struck a police constable who was riding a motorbike near Zero Point on Saturday afternoon.
