This is a tough topic for me - not sure how it's going to go. But I am here to clear up a lot of false narratives." The heartbroken son added: "I know with him being a legend worldwide, all lot of people were concerned for him, they wasn't sure what they heard. So I'm here to confirm as his oldest child that he has gained his wings."

"My dad was 51 years out when this happened to him... My dad didn't have any real health issues; these are just chapters in life. I hope that after watching this video, people who are going through difficult moments find peace.
