Ellen DeGeneres Pays Tribute To Beloved DJ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss

Ellen DeGeneres, who worked with the late Stephen ‘tWitch’ Bosson her talk show, is paying tribute to the beloved DJ one year after his death.

'tWitch' was a part of the daytime talk show for several seasons, starting as a guest DJ and moving to executive producer. After finding out about his tragic death, Ellen DeGeneres, spoke out, sharing some of her favorite memories with the DJ at the time.

Now, one year after the world lost Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, DeGeneres is speaking out again and paying tribute to the late dancer.

"So on the one-year anniversary of 'tWitch' no longer being with us, I thought that I would share a couple of memories," DeGeneres said in a new TikTok video. "Well, first of all, I mean there are so many memories that I have of 'tWitch'."

"I loved that every single day after the show, we would sing and dance to some song, and then we would make each other laugh somehow," she continued to say.

"And then we would walk off arm in arm and walk to my dressing room, and I would say 'I love you,' and he would say, 'Love you much'," DeGeneres said in the tribute video.

The beloved DJ and dancer took his own life one year ago when staying at a motel less than one mile from his home in L.A. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to the coroner’s office report. He was 40 years young.

The talk show host went on to share another memory she had of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, when they were visiting Las Vegas. "We went to Vegas together, and we saw Silk Sonic, and we both were huge fans," she said in the TikTok video, before adding, "That was really fun singing to each other and just being in Vegas together was really fun."

The talk show host went on to say, "One of the funniest things that I think we did; so we went to Miravel with Andy, and it was hilarious." The TikTok video then showed a clip of the three of them in Miravel.

"I mean, it was just the three of us together," she said, adding, "and then 'tWitch' climbed that pole and stood on the pole, which was incredible."

As previously reported, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss checked into a motel, an Oak Tree Inn, located less than one mile from his L.A. home. He reportedly took an Uber to the motel, leaving his car at home, and he put his phone on airplane mode so that no one could reach or locate him.

Hotel staffers claim the beloved DJ and dancer did not appear to be in any sort of distress and was not visibly upset when he checked in. The 40-year-old star had one small bag with him and had booked the room for only one night.

The next morning, ‘tWitch’ missed checkout, and one of the maids who worked at the hotel went to check on him and found him dead in his hotel room bathroom. The cause of death was confirmed to be a gunshot wound to the head, by suicide.
