Demi Lovato Mourns the Death of Her Beloved Grandpa Perry – What Happened?
Musician Demi Lovato is currently in mourning after recently announcing the passing of her grandfather, Perry. The star included several images of her grandfather to honor him.
On Instagram, Lovato, 27, sadly revealed that she lost her grandfather on Wednesday morning. She shared in the post how Perry had been ill for several years.
The singer confessed: “Although I’m relieved he is out of pain, it still hurts to think our family won’t get to say goodbye with a proper funeral for a while.” The star was probably referring to the guidelines set out during lockdown to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease.

Most, if not all, states currently have restrictions on the number of people that can attend a funeral. They’re also rules that determine how funerals can be held.

The "I Love Me" songstress also declared her love for the late Perry. She apologized, in death, for not having taken enough photos with him.
