Rest in peace Rich’

Richard Pryor, today passed away at the age of 65. He had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for years and died of a heart attack in an L.A hospital this morning.

His work spans five decades and has influenced many of today’s comedians including Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy & Arsenio Hall.

I first discovered Rich’s work in Superman III, but even then I was unaware that he was a great comedian, it’s only been in the last couple of years that I discovered the man is a ‘genius’ in the world of comedy.

Thank you for opening my eyes!

Rest in peace Rich’
