That's too bad. IIRC he's been in poor health for a while now, though.

They can replace him but not the way he done it so well, let the Force guild him.
Do not pity a Slave for the Slave-Lord, but hear the power of what Chaos can be.
All Beings bow before the children of he who bound their flesh by their words.
Fall and wail, all flesh, bone, soul,& power is a servant to Yun-man, the First Slave-Lord.
