Wow. This is so sad, but fair play to Vanessa Hudgens! Her father, Greg Hudgens, died on Saturday of cancer.
I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer. Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers.

It must have been incredibly difficult to sing and perform live in front of millions of viewers at such a tragic time, but Vanessa absolutely nailed it.
There are worse things you could do, Rizz (@VanessaHudgens). Much worse! #GreaseLivehttps://t.co/djENXG5qbT
