Rapper KRS-One and his wife Simone Parker have pulled plans for a memorial
service for their son Randy Hubbard Parker, blaming "personal reasons" for the
cancellation.
The late 23-year-old - KRS' stepson - was found dead in his apartment in
Atlanta, Georgia on 6 July (07).Parker claims Randy's suicide from a single gunshot wound to the head was
related to severe depression.In announcing the cancellation of the memorial service, which was due to take
place in New York on 6 August (07), the couple thanked well-wishers and
apologised for their late decision.They tell AllHipHop.com, "If the hundreds of letters and responses to the
announcement of the passing of our son are any indication, we know that through
you, his life and spirit will forever be celebrated and live on."We extend our apologies to all who have come to our support, volunteered
your time and services and planned to attend the service. We trust that you
understand and respect our decision."
