It is with heavy hearts that we report that the Godfather of Soul's daughter, Venisha Brown has passed away. She was 53 and passed from complications of pneumonia as told in a statement released by the James Brown Family Foundation. Her family is mourning her loss including her sister, Yamma Brown, posting a series of photos to her Instagram account saying "my beautiful big sis Venisha has received her angels wings…my heart is broken but I am comforted by the peace you now have!!"
Her homegoing arrangements are still pending, but the family is asking that instead of flowers they hope donations to the James Brown Academy of Musik Pupils will be made.
