This is incredibly sad.
Britain’s Got Talent star Antonio Francis, known as Popeye, has died at the age of 54 following a stroke.
Popeye featured on the talent show in 2011, and made it to the semi final thanks to his weird talent.
His talent involved popping his eyes in and out, in time to music.
Yep, he managed to make a career out of that – bravo sir.
News of Popeye’s death was shared by his son, who was also a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent.
“A week ago a family friend found him on the floor unconscious where he had a stroke.”
“What’s crazy is he was there for at least six days so he’d survived for at least six days before we got him into the hospital and for the first two days he was breathing by himself.”
“This morning we woke up and I saw him take his last breath and then he stopped breathing.”

Popeye’s family have set up a Go Fund Me page so that they can bury their father in Barbados.
“He was back and forth from Barbados where he was staying with our grandma and he started losing his memory.
“He randomly came back to London, we didn’t know why because he had nowhere to stay so he started sleeping rough.”
They’ve raised £1,600 so far.
Our thoughts are with the family.
