After the unexpected recent death of Grammy-winning recording artist Mandisa, a celebration of life is being held in Tennessee this weekend that will also be livestreamed. 

On April 18, Christian singer Mandisa Hundley was found deceased in her home in Nashville. The cause of death is still unknown one week later. 

However, on April 22, a statement from the Franklin Police Department (Tennessee) reported: “At this time, there is no indication the death was the result of suspicious or criminal activity.”

On Saturday, April 27, fellow artists, friends, and family will gather to remember the life of Mandisa in Brentwood, Tennessee.
