Winning Trio of ‘The Voice’ Is Coping with the Loss of Their Father to a Rare Cancer and Continuing to Play Some Shows in His Honor

“When Bekah finished high school and the boys finished college, their father’s prognosis was still unknown, so they decided to spend more time as a family and formed their trio in 2019,” the band’s NBC profile reads.

And though their lives might seem like a sort of dream come true after their win on the hit show, the siblings have been dealing with the devastating loss of their father, Christopher Liechty, at age 56 in January.

But the band has continued to play most of their shows. And in a recent Instagram update, the trio shared how they were doing and why they’ve continued to perform after their father’s passing writing in the caption: “key points: 1. thank you. 2. we are hurting and 3. we are okay.”

“Yeah, we have three shows the weekend after our father passed,” Caleb said in the video. “Which you may be wondering why we would do that. We are too, sort of.”

“But we want to be able to get them out of the way so that we can really throw ourselves into processing his death and planning for his memorial service, which is coming up in the next weekends, that's really important to us.”

Joshua continued by adding that their father also wanted them to keep performing no matter what happened to him.

“He really wanted us to do these shows,” Joshua said. “He was talking about his death, and he [said] do not let my death deter you from doing these shows. He didn't get his wish on Thursday night, but he'll be with us tonight.”

In staying true to their father’s wish, Caleb added that they were just “happy to be able to sing while we're still here and sing for him and everybody else too.”

Bekah also expressed her gratitude for all of the love and support they’ve received from fans.

“We just wanted to come out here and say thank you so much for all of your condolences and sympathy and kindness you've showered us with this whole process,” she said.

Losing a Loved One to Cancer

Grief is an inevitable and essential part of the healing process after losing a loved one to cancer. And there's definitely no one way to cope, but Doug Wendt shared his thoughts on grief in a previous interview with SurvivorNet after losing his wife Alice to ovarian cancer.

"We're never gonna move on, I don't even think I want to move on, but I do want to move forward," Wendt said. "That's an important distinction, and I encourage anybody who goes through this journey as a caregiver and then has to face loss, to think very carefully about how to move forward."

Everyone's journey of grief looks different, but therapy and support groups can also be wonderful options to explore. It's also important to keep in mind that time does not heal everything, but it certainly helps.

In an earlier interview with SurvivorNet, Camila Legaspi shared her own advice on grief after her mother died of breast cancer. For her, therapy made all the difference.

"Therapy saved my life," Legaspi said. "I was dealing with some really intense anxiety and depression at that point. It just changed my life, because I was so drained by all the negativity that was going on. Going to a therapist helped me realize that there was still so much out there for me, that I still had my family, that I still had my siblings."

Legaspi also wanted to remind people that even though it can be an incredibly difficult experience to process, things will get better.

"When you lose someone, it's really, really, really hard," Legaspi said. "I'm so happy that I talked to my therapist. Keep your chin up, and it's going to be OK. No matter what happens, it's going to be OK."
