Sister's Death Forced Nelly Into Break.... Rapper Nelly was so devastated by the death of his sister in 2005, he took a long hiatus to grieve.Jackie Donohue died from leukaemia at the age of 31, midway through Nelly's tour to promote 2004 double album Sweat/Suit.The Hot In Herre hitmaker had set up the Jes Us 4 Jackie campaign to find a bone marrow donor for his sister and to raise donation awareness - but a donor wasn't found in time for Donohue.And the star admits the shock forced him to put his music career on the backburner - but now he's back and preparing to release new album Brass Knuckles.Explaining why he waited so long between albums, he tells TheBoomBox.com: "I lost my sister in 2005 and that was like the worst thing that ever happened to me."So dealing with that took a whole…it took time. It took time. I didn't know how I was gonna deal with it. It never happened to me before, I didn't know, I didn't know how to react.0Comments | Be the first to comment!
