Richard Simmons, fitness icon, dead at 76: report

Richard Simmons, a fitness icon, has died, according to reports. He was 76. Simmons, who was known for his ‘Sweatin’ to the Oldies’ workout videos, just celebrated his 76th birthday on Friday. His death was confirmed by his rep, ABC News reported, and by two law enforcement sources, according to NBC News. ‘I never got so many messages about my birthday in my life!’ Simmons wrote on his Facebook page on Friday.

The former fitness coach, who stepped away from the spotlight 10 years ago, told People magazine in an interview this week that he was ‘grateful’ to be ‘alive for another day’ following his skin cancer diagnosis. He said he planned to blow out a candle to mark the occasion, but ‘But the candle will probably be on a zucchini. You know, I’m a vegetarian.’ ‘I am grateful that I’m here, that I am alive for another day,’ he continued.
