Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the famed DJ on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, is dead and according to reports, it appears to be suicide.
Law enforcement sources in USA say Stephen’s wife Allison Holker ran into an LAPD station Tuesday, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car, something that was not like him at all.
Paramedics got a call for a medical emergency at an L.A. hotel and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
“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,” a source revealed.
She continues, “He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans. To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory.”
Concluding, “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”
Stephen started DJing on Ellen’s show in 2014, and was with her until the show ended in May 2022. He had become an executive producer on the show in 2020.
He really got his big break in showbiz in 2008, when he was runner-up on “So You Think Can Dance.”
He went on to do some acting, landing several roles where he could show off his dance skills. Stephen played Jason in the ‘Step Up’ movie franchise, and he was also in “Magic Mike XXL.”
