Country musician speaks out after the killing of his mother

Country musician Spencer Hatcher has spoken out six weeks after his mother was killed in her home.

The singer recently posted a video on Youtube thanking fans for their support during what he described as “the worst time of our life” for him and his family.

“You all sent so many loving comments and messages and made posts and everything and we did our best to read them,“ he said in the video. ”But I just want you all to know how appreciative we are and I am of you all.”

Hatcher’s mother, Holly, 62, was killed by an armed intruder at her home in Virginia. She was at home with her husband, Michael, 65, when she was fatally stabbed, according to American Songwriter.

The musician went on to announce his return to making music and touring, after previously canceling his August tour dates.

Hatcher said that the reason he wanted to resume his music career was to honor his mother, who he said would have wanted him to keep going.

“My mom was my biggest fan and my biggest supporter in everything that I did,” he said. “She loved the music, everything about it. She loved the shows.”

Hatcher is known for songs such as “Cold Beer and Common Sense” and “When She Calls Me Cowboy.”
