“We are eternally thankful for the outpouring of love that Catherine and our family have received over the past few months,” the statement read. “Cat saw her music go places she never expected and rests in the peace of knowing that she will continue to provide for her son through her music.

She asked viewers to pre-save her final song, announcing that all proceeds from it would go to her 7-year-old son.
