Richard Pryor

[CharlotteSometimes]

Richard Pryor has sadly passed away, following a heart attack. He'd been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. He was 65.

For me, he was one of the most talented comedians of all time. Very few could touch him as a true maverick - he's in the same elite group as Lenny Bruce, John Belushi, Andy Kaufman, Steve Martin, John Candy and Bill Hicks.

R.I.P. Richard - a true legend.

This is sad. I knew he had MS. R.I.P.

It's very sad news. He was one of a kind - many imitators, but nobody as good as him.
