Lord Sear, a close friend of Eminem and a DJ on the rapper's Shade 45 SiriusXM channel, has died at the age of 53. This follows the death of Eminem's grandmother, Betty, less than 24 hours earlier. In a post on social media, Eminem called Sear "one of the greatest people to be around," while he mentioned some of his favorite interviews were on the Shade 45 channel. An announcement on Lord Sear's Instagram page revealed his passing and paid tribute to his legacy.
