THE wife of country singer Jelly Roll has announced the death of her father.

Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, shared on Instagram that her father Bill had died of cancer.
The 44-year-old posted a slew of sentimental photos with her father, from her childhood to adult.
"Hey Bill, I'm going to miss you," she captioned the collection, addressing her dad personally. "You are still my favorite rock star & my hero. "This one's going to hurt.
"Rest easy & don't make too many angels fall in love."
The proud daughter also shared a video montage, featuring clips of her and Bill throughout their lives.
It was all set to the song Praying to a God by Mr. Probz.
CANCER DIAGNOSIS
Bunnie XO revealed last year her father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
"I received one of the worst calls yesterday that shook me to my core," she confessed at the time. "My dad has been silently battling Stage 4 cancer for the past year alone w/just his wife.
"He insisted no one know so he could try to heal it himself because he's into holistic remedies.
"Sadly the cancer has now spread into his bone marrow and & his bones are breaking, he can't lift his arms, walk, barely eat & he's in so much pain you can't even hug him."

He continued, "I've been really kicking a**, man. I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now."
