Renowned singer Peggy Scott-Adams recently passed away on March 27 at the age of 74. She was at her residence in Pensacola, Florida, at the time of her passing, and the cause of death has not been revealed so far.
Late American singer and songwriter Marvin Sease's official Facebook page paid tribute to Peggy, where she was described as one of the best entertainers in the industry who personally reached out to Marvin's family when he passed away in 2011. The post stated:
"From my family to the family of Mrs Peggy Scott Adams, I am praying for your strength at this time. The Blues world lost another legend, but Blues Heaven added another member of the choir. Be sure to hug my Dad up there when you see him. Job well done!"
The post featured a screenshot of Peggy's message where she wrote that she was in shock following Marvin's death. She wrote:
"I am trying very hard to attend the service but not sure that I am going to make it, but please call me if there is anything I can do. Remember that "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot Heal". Love you so much….PSA."
