TONY HARNELL's Mother Loses Battle With Cancer

April 27, 2009

Former TNT and current STARBREAKER singer Tony Harnell has issued the following statement:

"I just wanted to let all of my supporters, fans and friends know that my beautiful mother departed from her body on Friday morning. She left peacefully and was brave and dignified to the very end.

"Normally this would be a private matter, but I was forced to disclose this information last year when I had to cancel a festival appearance. The outpouring of well wishes was greatly appreciated!

"She was an extremely talented opera singer and television host and producer. She raised Appaloosa horses and loved animals as much as she loved people and lived life to its fullest.

"She was far too young and I will miss her every day, but now she is free of a body which was not working any longer.

"Thanks to all my friends, fans and business partners for your love, support and patience through this difficult time."
