Evel Knievel, the hard-living motorcycle daredevil whose exploits made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.

Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.

 

He was the man!!! Fuck all talent but balls of steel to make up for it.

RIP

Doing all that crazy stunt shit and he dies of some stupid disease...

Serious proof that either : there is no God, of it there is he's one sick, twisted bastard...

Anyone who has the guts to ride/fly a rocket powered Harley over Snake Canyone is a brave man imo.

RIP EK

At least he got to sue Kanye West before he died!
