This stunned me. I really didn’t want to believe it. I Never get overly emotional over a celebrity’s passing, but this got me. Just felt he had so much more to live, and do. Bless him and his daughter and family.
I had just gotten out of the theatre from seeing Little Women when I heard this awful news, and that pretty much ruined the rest of my day. I don't think I've been this shocked by a celebrity death since Philip Seymour Hoffman died.
RIP Mamba. I'm so glad I got to see him play in person about a decade ago. Unquestionably one of the all-time greats.
