Celebrity Deaths of 2026: Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir, T.K. Carter and More Stars We Lost
Hollywood mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2026.
The year started off with the sad news that Broadway performer and influencer Bret Hanna-Shuford died at age 46 after being diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma. His husband, Stephen Hanna-Shuford, confirmed on January 3 that the Beauty and the Beast actor “left this world peacefully with love, surrounded by his family.”
On January 8, 2026, PBS TV chef Elle Simone Scott — who broke barriers as the first Black woman to join cooking show America’s Test Kitchen — died at age 49 following a long battle with ovarian cancer.
News broke on January 10 that T.K. Carter, a veteran actor known for appearing in The Thing and Punky Brewster, was found dead at age 69 in Duarte, California. That same day, Grateful Dead cofounder Bob Weir’s death at age 78 was confirmed when he succumbed to “lung issues” after being diagnosed with cancer in July 2025.
