He wrote that performing reminded him of “when I was 26,” and that he was “finding my new voice and loved every minute of it.” Saget’s final tweets and Instagram posts were posted late Saturday night after his final performance in Jacksonville, Florida. He earlier posted a photo of the two of them together. Andrea had a cerebral aneurism, and Gay had an autoimmune illness.
Saget’s sisters, Gay and Andrea, both died while they were young adults, resulting in a tragic family history. Gay died of an autoimmune illness at the age of 47 in 1994. Gay, Saget’s older sister, is depicted with him and their mother Dolly in the photo above. Gay, his second older sister, died nine years later at the age of 47, after a three-year battle with the autoimmune disease scleroderma. Andrea Saget, Saget’s older sister, died in 1985 at the age of 35 from a brain aneurism.
