Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso posted on X, saying, “I’ve had to take a seat, as I find myself repeatedly reading his name, doubting if everyone else has it correct.

Instead of saying: Adding: ‘Not this man, not this beautiful, smiley, talented man. The absolute real deal, talent pouring out of every pore. I’m heartbroken you’ve gone Gavin. I hope to see you again my friend. God I’m shaken to my core.’

After witnessing my initial Broadway performance, he guided me through the backstage area. It was astonishing to find such an extraordinarily gifted individual who was adored by everyone as their favorite person. I yearned to mimic his singing style and aspired to emulate him.

My heart goes out to his family and closest friends during this difficult time. This just isn’t right. We will remember him always.
