		</div><p>US TV star Oprah Winfrey’s father, Vernon Winfrey, has died at the age of 89.</p>
<p>The presenter confirmed the news in an Instagram post that her father died in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday.</p>
<p>“Yesterday with family surrounding his bedside I had the sacred honour of witnessing the man responsible for my life, take his last breath,” the media mogul wrote. “We could feel peace enter the room at his passing.”</p>
<p>Details about funeral plans were not immediately released.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, Winfrey surprised her father by throwing him a surprise barbecue in Nashville on the July 4.</p>
<p>The event was called “Vernon Winfrey Appreciation Day”, which included a barber chair to honour his long career as a barber and owning his own shop in Nashville for nearly 50 years.</p>
<p>Vernon served as a member of Nashville’s Metro City Council for 16 years and was a trustee for the Tennessee State University.</p>

<p>Winfrey spent her early childhood at her father’s hometown of Kosciusko, Mississippi, and in Milwaukee with her mother, Vernita Lee, who died in 2018.</p>
<p>However, she also lived with her father in Nashville, between the ages of seven and nine and during her teens.</p>
<p>“If I hadn’t been sent to my father (when I was 14), I would have gone in another direction,” Winfrey told the Washington Post in 1986.</p>
<p>“I could have made a good criminal. I would have used these same instincts differently.”</p>
