Chadwick Boseman Honored By Wife Simone With Touching Musical Tribute

Over the weekend, a touching tribute to Chadwick Boseman, the late Black Panther star’s wife Simone Ledward Boseman sang an emotional rendition of “I’ll Be Seeing You” at the Stand Up to Cancer TV special. Chadwick Boseman died at 43 on Aug. 28, 2020, following a four-year battle with colon cancer, a diagnosis he hadn’t shared publicly. In addition to his starring role in the blockbuster Marvel movie Black Panther, Boseman portrayed several historical figures on the big screen, including Jackie Robinson in 42, Thurgood Marshall in Marshall, and James Brown in Get On Up.

At the special TV event, before Simone’s performance, Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, who cohosted the fundraiser, honored the late actor in his introduction of Simone Boseman by stating; “Many of us were devastated to learn of Chadwick Boseman’s tragic passing after he privately grappled with cancer for several years. The world lost an incredible artist and a true hero. But before he was a public figure, he was a person like you or me — a son, a brother, uncle, cousin, friend, colleague, husband. Many of us are all too familiar with the fracture a dearly loved one’s passing leaves in the lives of those who love them. Here to perform a song about living with the reality of loss and finding a way forward is Chadwick’s wife, Simone.”
