Phoebe Bridgers is mourning the death of her father.
The 28-year-old singer announced her dad's death alongside a tribute Tuesday on Instagram.
Bridgers posted a photo that shows herself and her dad smiling and sharing a pair of earbuds.
"Rest in peace dad," she captioned the post.
Bridgers had a complicated relationship with her dad, which she has addressed in her music and in interviews.
The singer said in a 2019 interview with GQ that her dad was a scenic carpenter who was abusive and had a "drug thing."
Bridgers later described their relationship in an interview with Sam Sanders for NPR's It's Been a Minute in 2020, saying it was "a very weird combination of emotionally unavailable, but very present in a weird way."
She also addressed her song "Kyoto," which was written about her dad. The song features the lyrics "You called me from a payphone / They still got payphones / It cost a dollar a minute / To tell me you're getting sober / And you wrote me a letter / But I don't have to read it."
"I was angry for a long time, and ... the song is basically about, like, not being angry anymore," she told NPR.
