Brian “Nashville” Duckworth, the much-loved country singer and Taylor Made band member, has died at 56.

Duckworth died at his residence in Clarksburg, West Virginia, according to his obituary. No cause of death has been made public.

Known for his powerful voice and songwriting, Duckworth performed alongside his sister, Wendy Williams, and brother, Greg Duckworth, in the sibling country trio Taylor Made.

His obituary described music as “a special part of his life,” noting that he loved singing and took particular pride in appearing with his family’s band. Always eager for a chance to perform, he earned the affectionate nickname “Nashville.”

Taylor Made became known for the close three-part harmonies created by the Duckworth siblings.

Their musical journey began much earlier, with the trio growing up singing together on the porch of their Taylor County, West Virginia, home.

The group’s big break came after they entered—and won—the Colgate Country Showdown, where they caught the attention of renowned Nashville manager Dale Morris.

Morris, who represented major country acts including Kenny Chesney and Alabama, encouraged the band to replace its original name, I-79, with Taylor Made. He also helped set the siblings on their path to country radio success.

In 2012, Taylor Made released the successful single Things You Don’t Grow Out Of. The following year, Nashville’s MusicRow Magazine named the country group Independent Artist of the Year, according to Billboard.

‘Three kids from the back porch have to have a lot of help to get the exposure,’ Duckworth told the outlet. ‘We’re just excited about each and every step along the way.’

They were the opening act for such superstars as Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley.

Duckworth’s other passion was his job as dump truck driver for Wolfe’s Excavating.

‘He was the ‘Truck Boss,’ a job he truly enjoyed because it allowed him to spend his days outdoors. Whether working or relaxing, Brian was happiest surrounded by nature,’ his obituary read.

‘Brian’s love of family, music, and the outdoors will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.’

Duckworth is survived by his wife of more than 15 years, Tina Scheuvront Duckworth.

A GoFundMe has been launched to help Duckworth’s wife with the ‘very real burden of funeral expenses, time away from work, and the many bills that continue to come in.’

It currently has a goal set of $7,500 and has already amassed $4,445 as of Saturday. 

He is also survived by his six children, Zach Morris, Ashton Goines, Logan Duckworth, Kayla Starkey, Michael Starkey, and Matt Starkey; four grandchildren, five sisters and brothers, and his pets.

Duckworth was preceded in death by one brother, Dennis Keith Duckworth, and father-in-law, Robert ‘Bob’ Lee Scheuvront.

He will be laid to rest at Floral Hills Memorial Garden in Grafton, West Virginia on Tuesday, September 15.

The sweeping Penn State fraternity cocaine investigation is drawing attention to what officials describe as an alarming shift in rural America, where more young people are seeking out powerful stimulants.

Pennsylvania’s attorney general announced last month that 14 men, many identified as fraternity members, had been arrested in connection with an alleged large-scale cocaine operation run out of off-campus fraternity houses near the university.

According to court records, Agostino Abbatiello, 24, who authorities allege was the ringleader, was released Sept. 2 after posting $250,000 bail. He had spent more than two weeks in custody.

With the Penn State cocaine case continuing to unfold, Centre County Drug and Alcohol Administrator Catherine Arbogast said the demand for stimulants extends beyond the college campus.

“What is being reported to us is that we have gone from just seeing opiates and opiate derivatives to also seeing more stimulant use,” Arbogast said.

She said the growing interest is not limited to cocaine or prescription drugs such as Adderall.

“We’re seeing methamphetamines, we’re seeing a variety of stimulants, we’re seeing prescription meds, we’re seeing synthetic medications—things that are being cooked up in laboratories,” she said.

Investigators in the Penn State fraternity drug ring case also allege that pledges were pressured into cutting and packaging cocaine as part of initiation activities.

It’s the “cutting” or mixing of the drug that when consumed, can lead to deadly consequences for the user.

“When people are buying drugs, they really don’t know what they’re getting because drugs are mixed, there are combinations of drugs, and so when they take something, they might be getting a stimulant, they might be getting an opioid, which is more of a depressant, or they might be getting a combination of the two,” Arbogast said.

But it’s not just college students who are looking for a fix.

“Stimulant use, opiate use, drug use is a pattern that is happening in rural communities across the state of Pennsylvania and across the United States,” Arbogast said. “It’s not something that just happens in big cities. It’s not something that just happens in more urban areas.”

Abbatiello has a scheduled court arraignment for Sept. 30.

News Media reached out to his attorney.

Gillian Anderson has said she identifies as pansexual, just weeks after recalling a “secretive” teenage relationship with an older girl at school.

The 58-year-old The X-Files star, who is reportedly in a relationship with The Crown creator Peter Morgan, discussed her sexuality in a new interview with The Australian.

Pansexuality describes sexual, romantic or emotional attraction to people irrespective of sex or gender identity.

“In my younger years, I was in relationships with women,” Anderson told the publication.

The actress also reflected on the ways her understanding of sexuality has changed, including through conversations about the experiences of other women.

The actress said: ‘I’m not a big flirter. I don’t put it out there very much. But I hear about many women around our age rediscovering their sensuality and their desire for sex.‘

“It certainly sounds as though they’re in the dating world — having lots of fun and opportunities, while also being approached by much younger men on these apps.”

Anderson said playing therapist and mother Jean Milburn across four seasons of Netflix’s Sex Education helped her become more sex-positive. “It all came from that character,” she said.

Anderson is a mother of three as she shares 31-year-old daughter Piper with ex-husband Clyde Klotz and had sons Oscar, 19, and Felix, 17, with former partner Mark Griffiths.

Weeks ago she detailed her ‘secretive’ teen relationship with ‘an older girl at high school’ as she opened up about her sexuality in a candid new interview.

The actress has previously spoken openly about having relationships with women in her past, saying that gender is irrelevant to her when connecting with someone.

Chicago-born Gillian has been married twice – first to production designer Clyde Klotz from 1994 to 1997, and then to documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne from 2004 to 2006.

And since 2016 she has been in an on-off relationship with The Crown creator Peter Morgan, though has never publicly confirmed this.

In the interview with The Sunday Times last month, she opened up about her past after moving to the US from London when she was 11. 

She told the publication: ‘One of my first relationships was with an older girl in high school. It felt secretive and illicit and wrong and we had to hide. Later on I had a boyfriend who found out and broke up with me.’ 

However, she added that she didn’t think she was gay because she’d ‘had a couple of boyfriends’. 

She then explained: ‘But I definitely felt I didn’t have the language for it. Even later on when I had other relationships with women, I’m not sure I ever thought of them as being potentially for ever.’

Though she has never publicly confirmed her relationship with The Crown creator Peter, in the new interview she did say: ‘The person I consider my life partner happens to be male.’

It comes after earlier this week Gillian revealed she couldn’t believe it when she was voted the ‘Sexiest Woman in the World’ in 1996 – because it was the period she felt at her least sexy.

The actress was then one of the UK’s biggest stars through her work on The X Files, but was suffering with crippling self-doubt as she struggled with raising her then two-year-old daughter as a single mother after splitting from husband Clyde.

Gillian reflected on the title in an essay about the secret to sex appeal, saying that she went through phases when she would wear deliberately provocative clothing.

Yet at the moment she was deemed to be at her peak ‘sexy’, she wasn’t confident or comfortable in her body.

Gillian mused: ‘In 1996 I was voted ‘Sexiest Woman in the World’ by FHM readers – a title that arrived with all the certainty of a cultural verdict. 

‘How ‘sexy’ I felt inside – or indeed looked – when the accolade was announced is another story… The ludicrous irony, of course, is that when the ‘world’ declared me its sexiest woman, I felt anything but.’

Gillian continued to British Vogue: ‘I was raising a toddler while working impossibly long days and at the time of the phone interview that accompanied the FHM article, I was in well-worn oversized flannel pyjamas while my daughter darted in and out of the room. 

‘I had been single for a while, having split from her father, and I wasn’t dating. I was shut down, self-protective and detached from my body, a state that was mirrored in my everyday attire. 

‘The fantasy projected onto me bore no resemblance to my reality, despite the latex bodysuit and exposed midriff in the accompanying photoshoot. My life revolved around call sheets, line memorisation and motherhood.’

Gillian went on to note that three decades on she’s feeling sexier than ever, noting: ‘The most seductive thing any of us can wear is the quiet conviction that we belong exactly where we are.’

A Wisconsin mother of three who launched a fundraiser that has collected $1.2 million for Lindsay Clancy’s parents says her effort was driven by sympathy for the family — though the money could ultimately be used to benefit Clancy, who is accused of killing her children.

Brandee Mulligan, 42, a separated TikTok creator with no connection to 36-year-old Clancy, her estranged husband Patrick, or her parents Michael and Paula Musgrove, created the GoFundMe campaign last month before ever speaking with the family.

“They had no idea and they were just extremely grateful and overwhelmed by all the support,” Mulligan told The Post.

Explaining her decision to establish “The Musgrove Family Fund,” Mulligan said, “And as a mom, like your heart just goes out to Lindsay.”

“And I don’t want to focus too much on the Lindsay aspect of it. But I mean, it’s a huge part of it,” she added before turning her attention to Clancy’s parents.

“Her parents have uprooted their whole life for three and a half years. They’ve given everything to this.”

Mulligan told The Post that she later spoke with Clancy’s father and designated him as the fundraiser’s sole beneficiary.

Massachusetts, however, has no law preventing people accused of crimes from receiving donations to help fight the allegations against them.

The state is among 23 without a so-called Son of Sam law. New York enacted its version after filmmakers sought to pay the notorious New York serial killer for his life story and media rights. As a result, Clancy’s father could give the funds to his daughter or use them to cover her legal defense.

Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington previously said that “every nickel” spent on her defense had been paid by the Musgroves, who were “pretty much depleting everything they have” to finance it.

The fund is the only GoFundMe page publicly confirmed by the platform as being connected to the family.

Mulligan regularly posts on social media in support of Clancy.

“This is truly a jury of her peers,” she gushed on TikTok after a mistrial was declared Sept. 4, before going on to lash out against the lone holdout juror. “And then one total idiot … one f–king man.”

But several posts she shared bashed — and appeared to cast suspicion on — Patrick Clancy’s involvement in the murder of his three children.

In one TikTok she shared, a former prosecutor questioned why Patrick Clancy appeared to be wearing different clothing in surveillance footage from two locations during his alibi and why investigators apparently did not obtain his phone records to corroborate his movements.

Patrick Clancy’s attorney slammed the “escalating campaign of misinformation” being waged by influencers earlier this week — threatening “every appropriate measure will be pursued to hold them accountable.”

Reached by phone, Mulligan didn’t walk back her criticism of the ex-husband, instead telling The Post: “I don’t have any comment on that.”

She said the fund — which has collected donations from more than 1,000 people so far, mostly women — is to cover travel expenses for Michael, 70, and Paula Musgrove, 73, from their home near New Haven, Conn., to Plymouth, Mass., where their daughter stood trial.

When the mistrial was declared, Mulligan raised the goal from the initial $2 million to $3 million.

“They’ve been in hotels, they’ve depleted their savings, and they’re the ones that footed the bill for her legal things,” she said of Clancy’s parents. “They’ve been the ones supporting Lindsay.”

GoFundMe doesn’t allow campaigns to pay for criminal defenses against charges for violent crimes, but the site has ignored repeated questions from The Post about what, if any, safeguards it has in place to ensure the money isn’t used to pay for Clancy’s legal defense.

“Everybody’s very clear on what it can and can’t be used for. And the families, they know that,” claimed Mulligan.

“Being a mom is hard, and it’s resonated with a lot of people all over the world. So many women. It’s incredible,” she said of the fundraiser.

“They tell moms to reach out and get help and then when you don’t get that, then what? And I hope that this case helps change that.”

Mulligan herself has face criticism online, and regularly shares comments from her haters, including one where someone said she was “psychotic” if she supported Clancy killing her children.

“You’re setting women back decades,” she said.

Clancy’s parents, Michael and Paula, have not returned The Post’s calls.
