Charlie Murphy, Eddie's older brother, and a very successful and popular stand-up comedian in his own right has died ... TMZ has learned.
According to Charlie's manager, he died from leukemia Wednesday morning in a NYC hospital. He'd been going undergoing chemotherapy. Family members tell us they're absolutely shocked because they thought he was getting better.
We're told the family would call him frequently, and he'd even joke they were calling too much.
Charlie famously co-starred on "Chappelle's Show" in some of Dave's most memorable skits ... including the nights Charlie partied with Rick James and Prince.
Charlie also co-wrote some of Eddie Murphy's movies, like "Norbit" and "Vampire in Brooklyn." He co-starred in "Are We There Yet?," "The Boondocks" and "Black Jesus."
He recently toured with Cedric the Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, George Lopez and D.L. Hughley on "The Comedy Get Down."
Charlie's wife, Tisha Taylor Murphy, died in 2009 from cervical cancer. They had 2 children, and he had another from a previous relationship.
Charlie was 57.

He was unsung for most of his life but more relevant than Eddie in the mid 2000s. RiP.Ordinary Joel, Zanni, Sign Language and 6 others like this. -

First time I heard of Charlie was in the movie CB4. Still one of my favorite comedies of all time. But his work on Chappelle Show took him to that next level. I always saw him and Eddie as two sides of the same coin. When Eddie became Hollywood, Charlie was the street side.
You could tell from recent photos that something was wrong with him. He looked sick. It reminded me of how Guru looked right before his death. It's a shame that he passed away relatively young (as far as dying is concerned). He was born around the same time as my father, hits a little close to home.
