The mother of a rising country music star has been stabbed to death inside her Virginia home. The armed intruder was then shot and killed by her husband, according to the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office. Holly Hatcher was stabbed to death during the violent home invasion. Suspect Kevin Moses Walker was killed when Hatcher's husband, Michael, fatally shot him in the driveway of their home, according to a police press release. In a post on Instagram, Spencer wrote that due to "a monumental loss in our family", he was cancelling three upcoming shows. "I hope to make these dates up to my fans in the future. I appreciate everyone that has lent their support to me and my loved ones." Police responded to a 911 call just before midnight at the Hatcher residence, where they found Michael outside with injuries to his body. When they entered the home, they found Holly dead of apparent stab wounds. Spencer is a bluegrass-influenced singer signed to Stone Country Records. His fanbase includes more than 850,000 social media followers and he has surpassed 60 million views, including 8.5 million on TikTok alone. This led to a high-profile partnership with PepsiCo, with Spencer co-writing and performing a bluegrass jingle in a national commercial for Mountain Dew.
