UPDATE — Here’s the official statement, via TMZ:
Roddy’s rep tells us, “I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all.”
Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was “cancer free” at the time of his death.
A family member tells us, “Our family is saddened by the sudden passing of our father and beloved husband, Roderick Toombs aka Rowdy Roddy Piper.”
Roddy Piper was one of the greatest heels of all time. Two years ago I had a chance to talk on the phone with him while he on a media tour for Klondike Bars. Piper’s Pit was one of my favorite things about wrestling. Our gracious and candid conversation was one of the highlights of my careers — I always loved his “I don’t give a ****” attitude towards, well, everything.
