R.I.P Stephen “tWitch” Boss

The renowned DJ on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, has passed away, and TMZ has discovered that it appears to be a suicide.

According to law enforcement officials, Allison Holker, Stephen’s wife, came into an LAPD station on Tuesday in a hysterical state because she claimed that Stephen had left the house without his car, which was uncharacteristic of him.

Shortly after that, at around 11:15 AM, paramedics were called to a medical emergency at a hotel in Los Angeles, where they discovered Stephen dead from what seemed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At the scene, he was identified as deceased.

Holker tells TMZ, “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him.”

She resumes, “He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans. To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory.”

Concluding, “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”

Stephen began spinning records on Ellen’s show in 2014 and continued doing so until the show’s cancellation in May 2022. In 2020, he was appointed executive producer of the program.

When he finished second on “So You Think Can Dance” in 2008, he actually earned his big break in the entertainment industry.

He continued performing and was cast in a number of roles that allowed him to showcase his dance abilities. Stephen starred as Jason in the “Step Up” film series and in “Magic Mike XXL.”

The Real Dirty Dancing, which aired on Fox earlier this year, was one of the reality shows Stephen hosted. He also co-hosted “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings” on Disney+ with Allison.

The couple, who were both competitors on the “SYTYCD” all-star season, got hitched in 2013. This past Saturday marked the ninth anniversary of Allison and Stephen’s union.

They have 3 children. 40 was Stephen’s age. RIP
