CELEBRITY Loss

The thought of losing a child is simply unbearable—a nightmare you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Sadly, however, there are many people whose worst nightmare became a reality, as is the case for these stars who lost those they loved the most.

Actor Gary Sinise shared the loss of his son, musician McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise, through a statement on Tuesday.  Mac had been battling spinal cancer since 2018, but sadly passed away on January 5, 2024, at the age of 33. Despite the fact that he was paralyzed from the chest down by the disease, Sinise revealed that Mac had been working on an album before his death, and managed to complete it with the help of other musicians before he passed away. 'Resurrection & Revival' went to press the week he died. "Thank you, Mac," Sinise wrote. "You did it. Resurrection & Revival will live on. And so will you. In our hearts forever. We were blessed to have you in our lives as son, brother, and friend…and we will miss you and love you for eternity."
