Concerned for his father's health, gospel singer and pastor of New York based Perfecting Church, Donnie McClurkin posted a prayer request via Socialcam on Wednesday, Nov. 6. McClurkin was in South Carolina where his father underwent an emergency operation, in which 6 inches of his intestines were surgically removed and doctors performed pathology tests to see "if it's good or bad" Donnie shared.
The sudden procedure left McClurkin understandably frazzled. "This kinda messed me up. Mom passed away in January and this came out of the blue," explained McClurkin. He also said his family needs strength, "You all please pray for us. Pray for my family, pray for my son. Pray for all of us. Pray for the entire McClurkin family."
In the first of the two videos posted, McClurkin vented about a member of the hospital staff violating his family's privacy. He said an orderly who was taking care of his father called a "High priestess" to pray for him. He showed the woman's business card on screen while explaining her agenda was to promote a relative's CD. The 3-time Grammy winner was livid that someone would interrupt an urgent family matter in this manner and vowed to see to it that someone would be fired. He conveyed what so many celebs try to get their fans to understand --famous people need their space too.
In the second video, the conversation may have started out referring to his father, which was obviously a major concern, but there were other burdens on the singer's heart. After addressing his father's condition, he then changed the subject and began to talk about the need for families to be close. "Some things only family can bear," he said. Lastly he veered into talking about getting rid of "so called" friends. Apparently the the Grammy winning artist recently severed ties with friends who were being overly critical of him. He likened friends who keep account of ones wrongdoings to carrying around extra weight. "Some weight you don't need," he said concluding the post.
McClurkin celebrated his 54th birthday on Nov. 9. Take a listen at the stellar vocalist in collaboration with Erica Campbell and Preshia Hilliard on "I Am Amazed."
