Oscar winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Isaac Hayes has died at the age of 65.
The music legend was found unresponsive near a treadmill at his home, attempts to revive the singer were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead in Memphis’ Baptist East Hospital shortly after 2 p.m.
Hayes won a Grammy for the “Theme From Shaft,” but was well-known to younger fans as “Chef” on the popular Comedy Central series, South Park. He was inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
Hayes had just finished work on a movie called Soul Men, which also stars Bernie Mac, who passed away on Saturday.
He is survived by his fourth wife, 12 children, and 14 grandchildren.
Rest in peace, Isaac.
