Miley is scheduled to perform Sunday in Greensboro, N.C.

[Updated at 7:15 p.m. Nov. 20: According to Gossip Cop, the Sunday concert will go on as planned.

A post signed ‘The Cyrus Family’ on Miley’s official site said: ‘We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill “Uncle Bill” Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed.”

E! Online has obtained two 911 calls that suggest Douglas, an Austin, Texas, native, may have suffered a cardiac arrest.]

We’ve been teasing Miley lately, but not now.

Take care, friends and family.
