I know you tried your best," The 24-year-old wrote in an emotional post. "You are free now. I will love you always, Dad. I can feel you with me. Rest now. In PEACE. I miss your voice. I wish more people could have heard it. I promise I will keep singing for you. Joel Maurice Levesque. January 8, 1955- November 14, 2015."

JoJo, born Joanna Levesque, stormed the pop scene with her 2004 debut hit, "Leave (Get Out)" before rolling out a number of hits including "Too Little, Too Late" and "How to Touch A Girl." The singer made her way back to the music scene over the summer when she debuted a triangle of hits, or "tringle" with Say Love," "Save My Soul" and "When Love Hurts." Having previously undergone drawn out legal issues with her former label, BlackgroundRecords, the "Baby It's You" singer has announced tour dates and recently discussed her triumphant return in an interview with Us Weekly. The singer admitted that she still gets told to "Get Out" daily, that she's been in love three times and that she's horrified by some of the outfits she used to rock even though she was just a teenager. When asked who she would hand-pick to be in her ultimate early 2000s girl group, she responded with chart-toppers Pink, Mandy Moore, Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera.
