Tyrese and mom
Actor and singer Tyrese Gibson has asked fans to pray for his mother following her hospitalisation with pneumonia and COVID-19.
Gibson shared on Instagram Saturday that his mother, Priscilla Murray, was in the intensive care unit, telling his 15.2 million followers that he left a film set to be at her side.
“My mother is in a coma, in ICU, with Pneumonia and she caught Covid they got her so sedated she can’t breathe or even eat on her own…This has been going on all week I haven’t posted. I’m doing it this time because I feel helpless,” he captioned a picture of himself sitting in a corridor during a shoot.
The 43-year-old, best known for playing Roman in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, described the post as his “cry for help,” adding that he needs “the most sincere prayers from you prayer warriors.”
He continued: “Hold on mother I’m there by your side in a few days… God is able to do things, he’s pulled you OUT of a coma before…Oh God I seen the light things have been going so well…Now this…Please guys pray and even write out the prayers in the comments so that me and my family can read and be encouraged.”
Gibson, who is the youngest of four siblings, wrote: “I’m her Baby Boy, I don’t know if I will be able to handle this one.”
