RIP Charlie Murphy: Watch His Classic ‘Chappelle’s Show’ Prince Story (Video)

Comedian and actor Charlie Murphy has died following a battle with leukemia, according to multiple media reports. He was 57.

The stand-up comic and older brother of Eddie Murphy made a mark of his own in Hollywood, writing for the big screen and Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show.” His “C! True Hollywood Stories” sketches on Dave Chappelle’s mid-2000s series became instant cult classics, especially the Prince and Rick James installments.

The one featuring Chappelle as the “Purple Rain” singer was particularly amazing, so we invite fans and readers to remember Charlie Murphy via the video above.

We like to think that the captains of this classic 1985 basketball game are drawing sides for a rematch in a far better place. Perhaps the “Shirts” team will take it this time.
