The 42-year-old megastar's mom Tina Knowles took to Instagram on Sunday  to reveal that her Air Force veteran older brother has passed away just weeks after being seen with her famous daughter.

The 70-year-old matriarch shared a black and white military photo of her sibling with a lengthy caption with her 4.1million followers.
