The singer said his dad wasn’t in any distress, but said he was worried he wouldn’t get a proper send off due to the current restrictions on public gatherings.

“If there’s a funeral we can’t all go to the funeral because he had eight kids… all the grandkids, great-grandkids, none of them will be able to go to the funeral, so that’s very hard,” he said.
