Rock icon’s daughter, amidst brain cancer, plans own burial with legendary father
John Mellencamp and his daughter have discussed her burial fans as she battles stage 4 brain cancer.
Teddi Mellencamp, 43, shared the news on the podcast “Two T’s in a Pod.”
Teddi Mellencamp, who has tumors on her brain, said iconic father wanted “to make sure you’re going to be in our group family mausoleum. …
“He’s like, ‘Well, there’s gonna be the top five, and then we’re gonna have little areas around it and then that’s where everyone’s gonna get buried.‘”
Teddi Mellencamp, who was featured on “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” said she will continue to fight the cancer.
But she did get inquiries on what she wants on her headstone.
“It’s a person I barely know, (and) he goes, ‘You wanna know the good news?‘” she said. “He goes, ‘Hot girls never die.’
“I was like, ‘That’s going on my tombstone.‘”
