Ariana Grande’s Nonna Marjorie Dead at 99


Ariana Grande announced the death of her grandmother Marjorie, calling her the 'beloved matriarch' of the family in an emotional tribute.

The track, which served as the closer for Eternal Sunshine, landed at Number 55 on the Billboard chart following the album’s release. Following her death, Grande’s brother Frankie shared a lengthy letter thanking Nonna for the “countless lessons you wove into my heart over the years.” He reminisced on their poker playing, dinner parties, and her teachings. “[You taught me] how to not give a single f*ck about what anyone thinks, and most importantly, how to show up for family in a way so deep, so unwavering, that I promise you: I will carry that torch fiercely in your absence.
