Diana Ross took to the stage for a sell-out concert Tuesday night with a heavy heart. The singing legend had learned that morning that her 87-year-old father,
Fred Ross, had died.
Diana, still a knock-out at 63, decided to go on with her show at the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal City Walk and brought her children up onto the stage at the end. The former Supreme then flew to her hometown of Detroit to be with her family.
She is the latest star to lose a parent in recent weeks with the death of
Kanye West’s mother, the
Osmond family patriarch, and
Martha Stewart’s mother.
