Broadway actor Quentin Lee passed away from colon cancer on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Lee is most known for his portrayal of the phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera.<\/p>\n

“The Phantom family is saddened to hear of the passing of Quentin Oliver Lee,” the broadway production captioned a picture of Lee on Instagram. “Quentin brilliantly lead our North American tour in 2018. Our hearts are with Quentin’s family and friends.”<\/p>\n

Lee’s wife, Angie, confirmed her husband’s “peaceful, and perfect” passing on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

“I saw his last breaths, held his hand tight, and felt his heartbeat slowly drift away,” she wrote in the post. “He had a smile on his face, and he was surrounded by those he loves.”<\/p>\n

Angie described Lee as “an incredible man, husband, father, son, brother, friend, singer” and actor. <\/p>\n

Lee announced that he had stage 4 colon cancer on his Instagram account in June.<\/p>\n

“This year has been a wild ride, I got a chance work with some incredible people at the TONY nominated ‘Caroline or Change’ musical, debut a sold-out Lortel Winner off-Broadway masterpiece, ‘Oratorio for Living Things’, and was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon Cancer,” he wrote at the time.<\/p>\n
