Moby visited by dead dad

Moby was visited by his dead father during a meeting with a medium.

The 51-year-old musician was lost for words when psychic Tyler Henry began reciting details of his dad James – who died in a car crash while under the influence of alcohol 49 years ago – during an appearance on the spooky TV show ‘Hollywood Medium’ recently.

Tyler said in the clip: "What’s interesting is that I have two distinct energies that I need to highlight and one I would view as being very maternal and the other is very paternal but they come through separately, not together. Do you have anyone who has any New Jersey connections on your dad’s side?"

As his jaw dropped, Moby replied: "Yeah, my grandmother on my dad’s side lived in New Jersey and my father was from New Jersey."

Tyler then began to dig further as he looked into the distance and scribbled away on his notepad.

He looked up and said: "The thing I want to mention is that he comes across as dead. So is your father actually dead? There’s two James I want to highlight. I have to mention but it’s connected to that."

Moby’s eyes became bloodshot as he said: "I don’t know about the second James but my father’s name was James."

Tyler added: "OK, there’s an acknowledgement that this man has a very close connection to you but he’s had a closer connection to you on the other side than he ever got to you in life."

Questioning Tyler, Moby said: "Are you sure we’ve never met before?"

As he burst out laughing, Tyler said: "That side, on your dad’s side, does have, as all families do, some element of dysfunction. There’s an element on his end of family that there were multiple alcoholics on multiple generations that I need to highlight."

Putting the picture together, Moby – whose real name is Richard Melville Hall – explained: "So my father died when I was two. And my father died very drunk because he was an alcoholic and he died in a car accident when he was driving."
