He also has several music videos on YouTube. Bobby Jr’s friends mourned his loss in the comments of his Instagram pictures after they heard the news.

The news is another tragic loss for the family. Bobby Sr. was previously married to Houston before their divorce in 2007. The couple was married in 1992 and she gave birth to Bobbi Kristina the next year. Houston passed away in February 2012 from an accidental overdose while in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Unfortunately, Kristina passed away when she was just 22 years old in July 2015. In an unexplainable and tragic coincidence, she was found lifeless in the bathtub of her Georgia home and was on life support for several months before she passed away. The coroner determined Kristina’s cause of death was drowning in the tub while she had toxic levels of cocaine and alcohol in her system. Bobby Sr. honored Kristina’s memory on the five-year anniversary of her passing in July on Instagram. The father wrote on Instagram, “There’s no way to explain how I feel. I miss you so much little girl you stay in my heart on my mind every day daddy loves you.”
