Just a day after Ebert announced that he was going to be taking a leave of absence because his cancer had returned, Chicago's Sun-Times tweeted "It is with a heavy heart we report that legendary film critic Roger Ebert (@ebertchicago) has passed away".
His long lasting career spanned nearly 50 years. A film critic with Chicago's Sun-Times for 46 years and on tv for 31, he was planning to revive his show At the Movies. A show made popular in the 80's and 90's with cohost Gene Siskel and later with Richard Roeper.
Ebert battled with thyroid and throat cancer over the past decade.
"We'll see you at the movies"
