Glenn Shadix has sadly died at the age of 58 after falling over and banging his head at his Birmingham, Alabama home. This video is a fitting tribute to the actor who was best known for his role in Beetlejuice.
This is the classic performance of Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) by Harry Belafonte that takes place in the film. If you can’t work out what’s going on, the spirits that inhabit the house are using the dinner guests as their puppets.
Shadix had a long and varied career, appearing in many other films and TV shows, including regularly guest spots on Seinfeld.
Beetlejuice director Tim Burton was obviously a fan as he cast Shadix again in The Nightmare Before Christmas and the remake of The Planet Of The Apes.
Rest In Peace Glenn Shadix.
