RIP Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes
editor
What a sad and horribly unexpected turn of events this weekend. Actor and comedian Bernie Mac, who was suffering for the past week from pneumonia
passed away, despite reports that he was expected to make a full recovery. He was only 50 years old.
As if this wasn’t shocking enough, one of the music industry’s most recognizable voices, legendary Isaac Hayes,
was found dead at 65 years old near the treadmill in his home. The cause of death has yet to be determined. To say the passing of these two stars is a huge loss is an understatement. Their legacy will live on in both the entertainers who continue to emulate them and us spectators who will admire their work for decades to come.
Please feel free to share your love and memories of both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes in the comments below.

Bernie Mac was definately one of my favorite comics and Issac Hayes definately pioneered for the music we know today. The entertainment industry has suffered a severe loss and my heart and prayers go out to both families, friends and fans.

Both are legends. Bernie Mac was hugely talented and SO funny and to lose someone so young is truly a loss. He always seemed genuinely nice and down to earth.
Issac Hayes is an absolute legend and his voice and presence in the industry will be missed.

I could not believe it when I heard the news about Bernie Mac. I just heard he was taking antibiotics and he was doing fine, next thing I heard he was dead. I cannot believe it. He was watched and quoted so much in my family that it was like losing a good friend. I am praying for his family and hope everything goes alright. From what his wife said he motioned to her to let her know that his body was tired, that is jus too bad. Isaac Hayes was another one I couldn't believe. He lives here in Tennessee and people were just talking about how beautiful his restaraunt is and I was talking this morning to the people that did the tile for his restaraunt floors. I am truly saddened today. We have lost two great icons all in one weekend. The funny thing about it was that they both were working on a movie together,and now they are dead together.Maybe they are bothe standing somewhere talking about what the hell happened!
