RIP /// DISCO /// RIP /// DISCO

** first recognition **

Without that knowledge... history is gone with the wind

My Dearest Facebook Family, Friends and Fans.

My brother, hero and best friend Maurice White passed away peacefully last night in his sleep.

While the world has lost another great musician, visionary and legend, our family asks that our privacy
is respected as we start what will be a very difficult life changing transition in our lives.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.

Much Love to everyone!!

Verdine White
