MF Doom, who was born Dumile Daniel Thompson in the United Kingdom and moved back to England with his family in 2010, died in Leeds on October 31, 2020, after a severe reaction to a blood pressure medication. According to his widow, Jasmine Dumile Thompson, he was diagnosed with angioedema, a rare and sudden form of swelling that inhibited his breathing, and medics kept him on a respirator until his death. He was 49 years old.
Following the news of his death, countless artists paid tribute to the late rapper, including Tyler, the Creator, Flying Lotus, El-P, and his longtime collaborator Madlib. Czarface dropped the new album Super What?, which he had recorded with MF Doom; the Avalanches unveiled a remix that the late rapper did of their song; and Thom Yorke honored him with his second remix of “Gazzillion Ear.” Plus Atmosphere, Your Old Droog, and IDK all shared previously unreleased songs featuring the late rapper.
