The terrible death of well-known DJ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, 40, who appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show from 2014 until the show’s termination earlier this year, devastated many.
With his death, the world of dance lost a legend.
The most heartbreaking aspect of this loss is that this man, who brought laughter and joy wherever he went, was suffering in quiet and battling depression.
Unfortunately, few were aware of his condition since he concealed it behind his stunningly contagious smile.
tWitch’s unrivalled enthusiasm and originality made him an invaluable member of the dance world, and those who knew him would never forget him or his choreography, which was known and recognised far and wide.
Many celebrities who knew tWitch flocked to social media to express their condolences and show love and support for his family, including wife Allison Holker and his three children.
The creator and judge of the show So You Think You Can Dance, which Stephen was a part of, Nigel Lythgoe, expressed his grief and sadness, saying he was “heartbroken and grieved” and “at a loss to understand how someone as adored and inspirational to so many people as Stephen would feel the need to end their life because they are in such a dark place.”
“With Twitch, it’s incomprehensible to me,” the man said. “He was constantly cheery and smiling. Everyone he encountered admired him.
Today will be a dreadful day for the dance world, but my thoughts and prayers go to to his wife, Allison, and their children.
Ellen DeGeneres was among the first to post about her friend’s death. “I’m heartbroken,” she posted beside a photo of herself and tWitch cuddling on stage during her event. “tWitch was all love and light. He was my family, and I loved him wholeheartedly. I’ll miss him. Please express your love and support to Allison and his three lovely children, Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.
Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States and a frequent guest on the Ellen show, posted an Instagram photo of Boss’ family with the caption, “I was heartbroken to learn about the passing of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who I got to know over the years through my Let’s Move! Initiative and visits to The Ellen Show.”
Jennifer Lopez, a singer and actress, was among those left crushed by the tragedy.
Lopez uploaded numerous images of herself and tWitch, with whom she collaborated in the World of Dance. “Twitch has a gorgeous, sparkling soul. I am astounded and heartbroken. “Love and strength to @sir twitch a lot, his wife, and their children,” she posted on Instagram.
We are deeply sorry for your loss.
