  I'm in real shock. Woke up this morning to some awful news that you passed. My heart is broken. You managed my first tour ever the "Rebellious Soul Tour" You Were so supportive and excited about the growth of my career. When are we going to stop killing eachother? They don't even know they took away one of the best. You've guided so many careers. The road for many artist won't be the same. My heart hurts @daydaydoesdis Praying for your family and I know you are in a better place.   A photo posted by K. Michelle (@kmichellemusic) on Feb 18, 2015 at 10:18am PST
