As we, Sister Sledge fans, continue to mourn the loss of member, Joni Sledge (60), and attempt process her sudden death on Friday, March 10th (2017), we are learning a few more details about the “We Are Family” singer. As we learn info either about what caused Joni’s passing, or little known facts about her legacy and life we’ll share those with you all.
Today we’re introducing Joni’s adult son, Thaddeus, whom most of her fans never knew she had.
Sister Sledge was still a very active group and made their presence known in the media and on social media to this very day. But when it comes to their individual lives, each of the sisters have different temperaments in terms of what they share with the public.
Joni Sledge leaned more toward the private side when it came to her personal life, although we’re not quite sure if that was less of a privacy thing and more of an old school way of doing things.
Many of us can relate to that- we know all too well that we have relatives who prefer to socialize the old school way- in person; and capture/celebrate their personal memories the same way we did most of our lives- by snapping photos, printing them out, and saving them in our family photo albums. That thought brings us back to the beloved Joni Sledge and her son…
Joni didn’t have social media pages, where she shared bits of her life and that’s why many fans never knew about her adult son…until now. Although Thaddeus does, however, use social media, the family connection was never made because his last name is not Sledge.
Hello. And Bye.
