Nick Cordero, the Broadway star known for his work in Bullets Over BroadwayWaitress and A Bronx Tale the Musical, died Sunday after a three-month battle with COVID-19. He was 41.

Cordero’s wife Amanda made the announcement on Instagram Sunday (July 5) writing, “God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”

She added, “I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him. Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, everyday.”
