Alvin Ing, who famously worked for American Broadway masterpieces, has died. He was 89.

Ing's representatives at Mosaic PR confirmed that the actor suffered from health issues before ultimately succumbing weeks later.

Variety reported that the actor, who was actually fully vaccinated, was diagnosed with pneumonia in mid-July. A few days later, he contracted COVID-19 which worsened his health status.

He fought for his life for two weeks before losing the battle due to cardiac arrest.

It remains unknown when and how he contracted the virus, but people his age are more prone to getting the virus and suffering from its complications.

Following the announcement of his death, his former colleagues and co-stars paid tribute to him and remembered his legacy for the last time.

Lea Salonga, who worked with him in "Flower Drum Song," said, "His voice was glorious and filled the room with its flawless sound, but beyond that, his sound was steeped in joy. Alvin was a joyful presence to be around at every rehearsal and performance."

"There was only one ALVIN ING, and a generation of Asian performers would not be where we are today without his leadership and courage. Boy, I will miss you, my friend," Telly Leung penned.

Rest in Peace, Alvin Ing
