Last week, the Randy Rogers Band announced the birth of the “newest member of the Rogers family,” Rumer Rain Rogers, daughter of the band’s front man, Randy. Wednesday morning, the band sadly announced her passing less than a week after her birth.

“Rumer Rain Rogers, daughter of Randy and Chelsea Rogers, passed away last night at Seton Memorial Hospital in Austin, Texas,” a Facebook post on the band’s page said. “Rumer died of natural causes, in her parents arms, just days after her birth. During this time of grieving, the family asks that individuals wishing to offer condolences make a donation to the children’s charity of their choosing. The family thanks you for your love and support.”

When Baby Rogers was born on June 3, a Facebook photo was posted of the Chelsea and Randy with their baby. The caption said she was born at 7:29 a.m., weighed 7 pounds and 13 ounces and “everybody was happy and healthy.”

According to NashvilleGab.com, rumors have circulated saying the sad news was just a bad rumor since the band supposedly played a show last night.

But Randy Rogers himself confirmed the news to Houston radio station, 93Q Country.

“She died after a week long battle with a very rare condition. She died in our arms and in no pain,” Rogers said in his statement to the station. “She was absolutely beautiful in every way. Her brain however was very sick.”

“I’m sure you all have many questions and we have all the answers the doctors gave us. We can share the story with you. It’s quite an extraordinary one. A memorial will be planned soon. We love you,” he said.

Texas country music fans began sharing their support for the Rogers family on social media as soon as news broke.

The band was scheduled to play in Roscoe, Texas on Friday, it has since been cancelled, according to the Lumberyard's Facebook. All tickets sold will be transferred to a rescheduled date.
