Conservative talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, has died following a battle with Stage IV lung cancer. He was 70.
Fox News reports that Limbaugh’s wife Katheryn announced his passing on his radio show.
Limbaugh has been an influential voice in politics since the start of “The Rush Limbaugh Show” in 1988. He spent over 30 years as an iconic, and sometimes controversial, voice in conservative politics and media.
In addition to his radio show, he was a New York Times bestselling author writing books for both adults and children.
The long-time media icon announced he had Stage IV lung cancer in early 2020. Shortly after the announcement, then President Trump awarded Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
