It’s true – Andy Hallet, who played the lovable lounge-singing demon Lorne, passed away this week as a result of a five-year battle with heart disease.

Hallet proved himself to be a fan-favorite on the series “Angel,” which ran for five years and ended in 2004.

RIP, Andy. The Buffyverse will miss ya.
