Gary Sinise's son McCanna 'Mac' Sinise's death from cancer leads to outpouring of support from Hollywood stars including Angie Harmon, Alyssa Milano and Patricia Heaton: 'We are so sorry'


Gary Sinise revealed on Tuesday that his 33-year-old son McCanna 'Mac' Sinise lost his battle with a rare cancer called Chrodoma last month.

In a lengthy tribute to his son, Sinise recalled the twin tragedies of 2018, when his wife Moria was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in June, before Mac received his chordoma diagnosis in August Mac had studied at the University of Southern California's Thorton School of Music, where he had begun work on an unfinished composition later titled Arctic Circles — 'inspired by the wintery nature shows he loved watching while lying in his hospital bed' — and he became determined to complete it before his time was up. Mac could still select musical notes with a stylus strapped to his hand, and members of his dad's Lt. Dan Band collaborated with him to hone the piece.
