Shane Warne<\/a> would be proud of.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The late Shane Warne and his daughter Brooke Warne in 2012<\/p>\n
The cricket legend – affectionately nicknamed the King of Spin – died from a heart attack whilst on holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand, at the age of 52 in March 2022, and he always loved getting all of his family together for the festive season.<\/p>\n
And his 27-year-old daughter, Brooke, cannot think of a better way to pay tribute to her beloved dad for the holidays than by keeping the family tradition alive with a big Christmas party at The Crown Sydney’s presidential villa.<\/p>\n
She told the Herald Sun: “Christmas will never be the same, and our birthdays won\u2019t be the same because Dad was such a big part of that.<\/p>\n
“He always wanted to go over and above for Christmas, and this will be the fourth one without him, so it\u2019s a tough one.<\/p>\n
\n“But I\u2019m getting the family together, and it\u2019ll be a reminder that even though Dad isn\u2019t here, it\u2019s a big deal and he\u2019d love that. Ever since I was little, Dad was always getting everyone together, and on Christmas Eve, he\u2019d always do something because the cricket players were in town.”<\/p>\n
\nAccording to the publication, Brooke is doing the event with Bianca Roccisano and Bridgett Roccisano, the founders of Booby Tape.<\/p>\n
\nAnd the Herald Sun also reports that guests will be able to indulge in “volando tequila, a pasta wheel”.<\/p>\n
\nWarne said of the big get-together: “I\u2019ve never hosted an event before, and the theme is going to blow everyone away.”<\/p>\n
\nIt comes after Brooke recalled the agony she experienced on the night she found out Shane had died.<\/p>\n
\nBrooke remembered finishing work on the Friday evening, and “having such a nice night” with her family, including her brother Jackson Warne, 25, sister Summer Warne, 22, Brooke’s partner Alex Heath, and mom Simone Callahan, 55, before Jackson got the phone call from Shane’s manager, Andrew Neophitou.<\/p>\n
\nIn an appearance on Jackson\u2019s Warnes Way podcast earlier this month, Brooke told her brother: “Not for one minute did I think something had happened to Dad. I remember you hung up the phone and said, \u2018Dad\u2019s had a massive heart attack\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n“We stood up, and I remember I couldn\u2019t breathe. I felt like I had this out-of-body experience, and I didn\u2019t think what was happening was happening.<\/p>\n
\n“I couldn\u2019t breathe, Alex was blowing air into my face, and I was trying to get myself together. I felt a sense of disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBrooke recalled her and the rest of the Warne clan “screaming” before Summer “collapsed” as they endured a two-and-a-half-hour wait before finding out that the doctors’ attempts to resuscitate Shane had been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
\nBrooke – who felt a \u201csense of numbness\u201d and was \u201cdistraught\u201d – added: “That night, I remember it was raining, and I sat on that balcony and I screamed and I cried.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd she is still struggling to come to terms with Shane’s death four years later.<\/p>\n
\nBrooke admitted: “Grief never goes away. You learn how to deal with it and how to deal with those people not being here, but you deal with grief for the rest of your life.”<\/p>\n
