I havent seen it in the news yet, but his team appears to have posted a rather cryptic farewell to his FB account thanking his fans for their support, and apologizing for not revealing his cancer diagnosis 6 years ago.
Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness. Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit.
