A daredevil athlete who wowed fans during Madonna’s 2012 Super Bowl halftime show was killed in a BASE jump accident at a Utah canyon on Sunday.
Andy Lewis, 39, and an unidentified 50-year-old man were both found dead after a botched jump at Mineral Bottom, a remote desert area near the Utah-Colorado line, according to a news release from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office.
Lewis was a well-known stunt performer who rose to stardom when he performed in Madonna’s 2012 Super Bowl halftime show.
During the iconic performance, Lewis, dressed in a Roman toga, executed complicated tricks on an inch-wide line while Madonna serenaded millions of viewers.
Lewis also owned BASE Jump Moab in Moab, Utah, which catered excursions for first-time jumpers. Moab is just 30 miles away from Mineral Bottom.
