Bernie Mac died pretty suddenly on Saturday and now I found out that Isaac Hayes died too.

65 year old singer and actor Isaac Hayes was found by a family member collapsed next to his treadmill. He died an hour later in the Baptist East Hospital in Memphis. Circumstances of his death aren’t known.

One odd thing about this death is that he’d just wrapped up filming for an upcoming movie with Bernie Mac called “Soul Men”. Very ominous.

Hayes is best known for writing and performing the theme song for “Shaft” and has been billed as one of the best and most progressive artists of our time. Let’s just say he was rapping before anyone knew what rap was. He’s also very well known to the youngin’s for his role of Chef on “South Park”.

Daily Brew wishes the Hayes family well. He will be missed.
