Country music star Pat Green has been left devastated by the reported death of his brother and sister-in-law, as the toll from the Texas floods continues to climb.
The singer, who hails from San Antonio, Texas, posted a statement on social media telling fans his family have “suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss”.
His wife, Tori Green, shared the same statement but added more details, revealing Pat’s younger brother John Burgess, his wife, Julia Anderson Burgess, and their two sons were swept away in floodwaters.

John has since been found dead according to local media, KWTX, while Julia’s body was recovered yesterday, according to KHOU. Their sons Jack and James are still unaccounted for.
It’s understood the family were at a caravan park in the Kerrville area for the Fourth of July weekend.
They were on their way to pick up their daughter, Jenna, who was at a nearby summer camp, which was unaffected by floods. The little girl is safe.
