Stefan Karl Stefansson, who’s best known for playing Robbie Rotten on LazyTown, has died. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, which lead to a GoFundMe. After a while, it seemed he was on the road to recovery, but then his cancer came back and it was sadly inoperable.

Poor Stefan, it was really heart breaking to see him go through all the difficulty of recovering only to get cancer again and it being fatal when it returned. Bless his soul.

He was number one.

I can't believe it...LazyTown was one of my favorite shows growing up as a kid...seeing the guy who played Robbie died...wow...

Even though I never really liked LazyTown, sad to see what eventually became Iceland's recent international icon go.

He was 43? Man, that is too young an age to kick the bucket. My condolences to Stefan's family.

Greg Baldwin sang his own version of "We Are Number One" in his Aku voice due to his death. It's funny and heartwarming.

Aww... that's terrible. I was excited when he said he was making a recovery, but I guess it wasn't strong enough to keep the cancer away.

Rest in peace, Stefan. You filled the hearts of children and the internet with laughter and happiness. You will not soon be forgotten.

This is a very sad news.

Rest in peace, Robbie Rotten.

This is really sad news. I heard about his GoFundMe campaign and how it seemed like the treatment worked at first, but then the cancer came back and it couldn't be treated. That is tragic, especially when he was so young on top of it. I hope that he is at peace and his family and friends will be okay.

You know I didn't expect him to be that good looking. On Topic, cancer takes a lot of lives and unfortunately today it took the life of a man who entertained millions of people during their childhood and made enough of a connection for people to start a Gofundme campaign to help him.

This broke my heart as soon as I heard.

LazyTown was one of my favorite children's shows as a kid, and Robbie Rotten was one of the best, brilliant and beloved elements of it.

When I heard he had cancer, I was a bit devastated. But when I heard he beat it, I was so elated. I had no idea about his cancer returning until this news and it made me tear up a lot.

Mr. Karl Stefansson was a very talented and wise man, and certainly gave children across the globe so much joy, happiness and laughter as Robbie Rotten, and he and his iconic character absolutely will not be forgotten.

My condolences to his family (both immediate and LazyTown), friends and fellow fans.
May he Rest in Peace.

HE IS NUMBER ONE.
