Comedian Bernie Mac has died after losing his battle with pneumonia.

The 50-year-old Ocean's Eleven star passed away on Saturday morning (August 9th) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, a week after being admitted to the medical centre.



Musician Isaac Hayes has died. He was 65.

Hayes passed away on Sunday morning (August 10th) at a Memphis, Tennessee hospital. The cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

According to reports, the songwriter was rushed to Baptist East Hospital after receiving a call from Hayes' wife who found him lying near a treadmill in their home.
