Ellen devastated after death of beloved show's DJ
<p>Stephen "tWitch" Boss has died at the age of 40. </p>
<p>The entertainer is most commonly known for his role as the DJ on the <em>Ellen DeGeneres Show</em>, where he has been a staple since 2014. </p>
<p>His death was announced by his wife of nine years Allison Holker just days after marking their wedding anniversary, as she shared a touching statement about his lasting legacy.</p>
<p>“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” she said in a statement received by The Post.</p>
<p>“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”</p>
<p>Ellen DeGeneres was among the first to pay tribute to her friend and colleagues, sharing a photo of the two in an emotional embrace. </p>
<p>She wrote, “I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him." </p>
<p>"Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children — Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.”</p>
<p>When Allison Holker discovered her husband has left home without his car, she reportedly ran frantically into an LAPD station, saying the behaviour was unlike him, according to law enforcement sources.</p>
<p>Police later got a call about an incident at an LA hotel, where they found Boss.</p>

<p>“To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt,” Holker continued in her statement. </p>
<p>“I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honour his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.</p>
<p>“Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”</p>
