James Brown is finally going to be buried. Somewhere.
The dueling factions left behind when the Godfather of Soul died on Christmas Day put aside their differences for at least one day to reach an agreement as to the late entertainer's final resting place.
Tomi Rae Hynie, Brown's longtime companion who has referred in court documents as the singer's "omitted spouse," and Brown's six adult children met up in a South Carolina courthouse Tuesday, where a judge appointed a special administrator to oversee the handling of Brown's estate.
The iconic performer's offspring had been looking to have Brown's longtime lawyer, Buddy Dallas, and two other men removed as trustees, accusing the trio of harboring a conflict of interest that prevented them frm managing their father's affairs properly. They also alleged that some of Brown's assets were in danger of being "lost or dissipated or stolen." |
