Vanessa bids late dad farewell

Tragedy: Vanessa Hudgens recently lost her father to cancer.

Vanessa Hudgens, former star of the High School Musical series of movies, shared a photograph of her late father, Greg, on social media on Tuesday, a week after he passed away from stage four cancer.

The 27-year-old star captioned the image, which was a photograph of Greg in his fireman’s uniform, “Rest in peace, daddy.”

Greg had passed away on January 30, the same day she was slated to appear in a live TV adaptation of the 1978 musical film Grease. She went on to perform the show that night in her father’s honour.
