So sad… Keyshia Cole’s biological mother Frankie Lons died Sunday due to an overdose while celebrating her birthday at her Oakland home, according to the singer’s brother, Sam, who spoke with TMZ.
She was 61 years old. As fans will recall, Keyshia was given up for adoption as a child by Frankie and her biological father Virgil Hunter.
She only reconnected with her birth family after making a name for herself in the music industry, going on to feature her mother in a variety of reality TV shows, including Keyshia Cole: My New Life.
These cameos focused on Frankie’s long and challenging journey to sobriety, the very same addiction which has sadly taken her life now. Related: She Rates Dogs Co-Host Mat George Dead At 26 After Hit-And-Run Due
