Twitter proved to be a credible news source tonight in the worst of ways. Ron Isley, Sheila E., CNN’s Roland Martin and entertainment reporter Jawn Murray were on their grind confirming some very sad news before any of the mainstream press: 54 year old R&B legend Teena Marie died in her home, reportedly in her sleep. Her daughter found her in her bedroom some time today. She had reportedly suffered a seizure last month. Radio stations in Philadelphia and Chicago have also confirmed the very sad news.
Here’s a stroll down memory lane with Lady T…
And here’s a look at how the news came down, via Twitter…
Just found out a friend, Tina Marie passed away. I really did't expect to hear this. RIP. We will miss you much!
Teena sent her last tweet less than 24 hours ago, further indicating how precious life really is. RIP Lady T. There’s going to be a helluva “Fire & Desire” jam session up above tonight.
