Tallia Storm mourns fathers sudden passing at 58

has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late father Sascha, after attending his funeral on Wednesday.

The singer, 27, revealed last month that her dad had died suddenly in Switzerland at the age of 58, and said that her 'world had been shattered' in a moving tribute.

After attending Sascha's funeral with her family, Tallia took to Instagram to share a selection of snaps and videos from the service and say she 'never understood the weight of grief until now.'

The pop star revealed she performed at the funeral alongside her two brothers Zachary and Johnny, while a gospel choir was also flown in from London to perform.

She captioned the post: 'My amazing Dad. There are no words to ever explain the emotions of this last week @artbyharti 

'I wasn't going to post about the funeral but my Dad was the greatest man I ever met so I will, and I know that as someone who shares every part of their life as a creator, I feel I have a bigger purpose now to send - as we aren't alone. 

'We are all in this life together, every single one of us, growing older and wiser together.

'Over the past week, I’ve been overwhelmed by thousands of messages from people sharing their own stories of losing parents, siblings, partners and friends. Before this, I’d see those posts on Instagram, send a message of [heart emoji] and carry on with my day. I never truly understood the weight of that grief until now.

'Grief is incredibly lonely, hard to articulate & never linear. I find it hard to put into words, but it’s also reminded me that none of us are ever truly alone.

'I have fortunately never experienced a loss like this before in my life, and at 27 I never could have imagined saying goodbye to my precious amazing Dad. 

'Looking back now, I realise what an incredible privilege that was. You never imagine you’ll be the one standing at the front of the church saying goodbye to someone you love more than words can ever explain. 

'But here we are, and I know my Dad would be telling me to look & think bigger. Wednesday wasn’t just a funeral.

'It was a celebration of life. Our favourite gospel choir flown in from London, Zac on the Saxophone followed by Zac on keys and me singing 'Sunny', Johnnie, Kae & my amazing Mum with an incredible speech, Tessies strength & nothing but love across the entire church.

'A celebration of the greatest man we've ever known. The entire day felt like we were in a film, sadly, the film was a real life story.

'It's hard to come to terms with it, my Dad was 58, glowing, healthier & fitter than ever. We were in Miami less than a month ago celebrating his incredible art on my Mum's swimwear walking Miami Swim Week @HartiSwim - But sadly, his time came. Unfortunately far too soon.

'Thank you to my unbelievably amazing Mum for being so strong at a time where our worlds have shattered.

'Her faith, love & strength has carried us through the most difficult week of our lives. One of the greatest gifts my dad gave me wasn’t just music. It was perspective.

'He taught me to think bigger. To dream bigger. To ask why. To believe there is always something greater than what we can see.

'I’m holding onto those lessons now more than ever.

'Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us, messaged us, hugged us and carried us through these past few days. Your kindness has meant more than you’ll ever know.

'Thank you to God for giving our family strength when we had none left, and thank you to Father Don André for leading the most beautiful celebration of my dad’s life with such love, compassion & understanding of his gifts.

'Sending love to our amazing grandad Otto B Hartmann & Valentine for their strength & unconditional love.'

Last month, Tallia shared the heartbreaking news that her father had passed away, after her  mother Tessa Hartmann revealed her husband's passing on her own socials.

Tallia posted on her Instagram saying: 'I have no words. My heart is broken. I cannot understand any of this.

'Our world has shattered and will never be the same. My amazing dad. You were my world & you will continue to be forever. I am in shock, please pray for my family.

'Please pray for my precious mum. I have never felt a pain like this in my life. My amazing, selfless, kind, caring dad. My hero. He taught me everything I know.

'My dream of music came from my dad, he was the greatest musician, the greatest artist I have ever known. I cannot find the words right now but please pray for all of us.

'Rest in peace my incredible, amazing dad Sascha Hartmann, I love you.'

Tallia's mum Tessa revealed her husband Sascha had died alongside a picture of the actor, artist and cinematographer. 

She penned: 'Sometimes there are words that you never imagine, in your entire lifetime, you will have to write.

'Yesterday, my darling husband, Sascha, the devoted father of our incredible children, Valentina, Tallia, Johnnie and Zachary - passed away suddenly in Lugano, Switzerland.

'We had only moved to Lugano last December, full of excitement for this new chapter in our lives. Now, I simply cannot comprehend a world without him.

'Sascha was one of a kind. A true gentleman. My parents adored him as though he were their own son, and anyone who had the privilege of knowing him knew just how extraordinary he was. He was gifted beyond words - an exceptional artist, a beautiful composer and pianist, with a brilliant mind and the most wonderfully gentle soul. But above all else, he was the most devoted father. He adored our children and was endlessly proud of every one of them.

'This August we were meant to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Instead, I am organising his funeral.

'I keep asking God for the strength to understand why this has happened, knowing I may never find the answer. I take comfort only in believing that he is now with God, and with my dear parents.

'The past 24 hours have passed in a blur. We are utterly shattered. Broken beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I ask, if you are able, to keep our family in your prayers as we try to find the strength to face the days ahead.

'Sascha, we loved every single part of you. Your kindness. Your laughter. Your humour. Your remarkable mind. Your music. Your beautiful piano playing. We will keep playing your songs, telling your stories, and carrying your love with us for the rest of our lives.

'Until we meet again, my love. My person. My soulmate. My best friend. The father of our four beautiful children.

'Thank you for giving me the greatest gift of all - our family. I will cherish that, and you, forever. Funeral details will follow shortly. The service will take place in Lugano on Wednesday 1st July. If you would like the details, please send me a direct message. My love I am Forever and always yours - Tess.'

The couple had four children together - Tallia, Tessie, Johnnie and Zachary - and were set to celebrate their 30th anniversary this year.

Under actress and writer Tessa's post she was flooded with words of support including from friend Gabby Logan, who penned: 'Oh Tessa, I know how devastated and heartbroken you all are. 

'What a cruel thing, that such a superb, funny, clever, supportive and talented man has been whipped away far too soon. Please know you are all in our prayers and we send lots of love, Kenny and Gabby x.'

Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry wrote: 'Sending love'.

Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann said: 'Mein ganz herzliches Beleid. Sending all my love to you and your family!'

Nicole Appleton penned: 'Tessa! I am so so sorry! Omg sending you all so much love.'
