The 5th Annual Celebrity Death Thread 2020 - Behold the Harvest!

[Denster]

Was having surgeries and chemo in between filming. Diagnosed in 2016. poor sod. Dreadful that. Genuinely shocked and upset me.

[BOR]

RIP

[Christopher]

That’s awful, RIP.

[Vermilion]

Really shocked by this, i didn't even know he was sick.

[Tafdolphin]

That's just horrendous. Horrible news.

[Godzilla]

He was amazing in the role of Black Panther and had such a career ahead of him. Very sad news.

[Squinty]

Holy gooseberry fool, that's dreadful. He's so young.

[Rex Kramer]

That's dreadful. Absolutely no age. Really brings it home when healthy looking people get taken in the prime of their life. Its a fragile thread.

My eldest is going to be in pieces. Kobe hit her hard and I can imagine this will be the same.

And it goes without saying- strawberry float cancer.

[Dowbocop]

Thought this was a joke for a minute when I saw it on Facebook. My wife and I watched 42 last night (great film by the way). Absolutely shocked. Such a loss.

[ITSMILNER]

Never knew he had cancer, this is awful news to wake up to. RIP

[Oblomov Boblomov]

Jesus poor guy, feel for his family.

Cancer is some scary gooseberry fool.

[Venom]

I didn't know too much about him personally but i was very sad to wake up to this just now. He was a young man at his prime, taken away by cancer.




There's a previously unpublished short interview with him discussing why Black Panther needed a black director.

[Choclet-Milk]

Jesus Christ, that's awful. I didn't even know he was ill.

What a thing to wake up to.

[Edd]

It's awful news, I'm glad he was at least able to keep it private this whole time like he obviously wanted to.

[Cuttooth]

One of the most shocking and saddest celebrity deaths I can think of.

[DML]

I was awake last night when the news first broke. Such a weird feeling when I saw it. Was absolutely amazing to see Black Panther become a fully fledged movie. RIP.

[Corazon de Leon]

That is gutting.

[Dual]

Very sad.

[Choclet-Milk]

Ah man, I just realised he played James Brown in Get On Up. I didn't know who he was at the time, but he was fantastic in it. So much so that I was convinced just now that the real James Brown played his older self in it, despite having died 8 years prior.

[captain red dog]

Wow that's shocking, I've still not seen Black Panther but he stood out in Civil War and the Avengers films. So sad, because he really seemed so full of life.
