Comedian Charlie Murphy, the brother of Eddie Murphy, has passed away at the age of 57 after a long battle with leukemia.

According to Murphy’s manager, he died in a New York City hospital.

Murphy was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. His childhood and his parents, Lillian and Charles Murphy, became fodder for his brother’s stand-up routines. Before Charlie Murphy’s own rise to fame, he served in the U.S. Navy from 1978 to 1983.

His star rose after he starred in and wrote for Chappelle’s Show. His most popular sketches were about the times he partied with Prince and Rick James.

Not that famous, but was responsible for some of the funniest skits on TV.

Sucks. 57 is too young to go. I never heard of him before Chappelle's Show. I wish he had made more Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. At least he had a moment in the sun, as brief as it was.

"My brother, you know, he's a lot more compassioniate than I am. He's lookin' and the limo's driving off and he says 'Wow man, Rick really needs help'. I was like 'Sho, we just gave him some help! Busted his fuckin' ass. I betcha he won't come over here and disrespect like that again.' WRONG! WRONG! You're talking about Rick James, man."

"Live music is better" bumper stickers should be issued.

RIP.
