Members of the world’s most beloved music band have died in horror plane crash on route to concert.

The last member of the group released a heartfelt statement about the deaths.

People all over the world love the Nelons as a gospel family, but they were in a fatal plane crash on their way to a concert.

It was a terrible accident that killed seven people, including Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber, and their son-in-law Nathan Kistler. Melodi Hodges, who worked for the family, and pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa also died. Autumn Nelon Streetman, the fourth person in the group, wasn’t on the plane at the time.

Band members were on their way to Alaska to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise when their plane crashed over Wyoming. Emergency workers and firefighters rushed to the scene of the crash because a wildfire had started. The plane was said to have gone up in flames. The Wyoming sheriff’s office says there were no survivors.

When Autumn Nelon Streetman talked about the tragedy, she said, “As many of you know by now, my parents, Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, along with my sister Amber, brother-in-law Nathan, and our dear friends Melodi Hodges, Larry, and Melissa Haynie, were in a terrible plane crash on Friday.”

“Thank you for the prayers that have already been said for me, my husband Jamie, our soon-to-be-born son, and Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark. Thank you for your continued love, prayers, and support as we go through the next few days.”
