DMX’s family is also planning a more private funeral service Sunday, at a church in the NYC area.
As we first told you … Yonkers’ Mayor, Mike Spano, welcomed the idea of X’s family holding the service at Yonkers Raceway, as DMX grew up in the city. While that didn’t pan out, we’re told there are still plans for X to be honored in his hometown … Spano says a statue or street name is being considered.
X took center stage at the Barclays Center back in June 2019, in what turned out to be one of his final big arena shows, and electrified the crowd with his trademark stage presence and his hits.
It’s been just over 2 weeks since DMX died following complications from a drug overdose and a week on life support.
That final week gave family members an opportunity to say goodbye, and gave fans a chance to celebrate his music outside White Plains Hospital and hold prayer vigils. They also started a makeshift memorial to DMX almost immediately after he passed.
