New Birth Missionary Baptist Church’s senior pastor Eddie L. Long has died, according to the church.

He was 63 years old.

"Today it is with great sadness I announce that our bishop has transitioned,” Bishop Christopher C. Smithsaid.

The expectant crowd, many already informed by social media and text messages, wailed and shrieked at the official announcement.

"He's no longer in pain,” Smith continues. "He's no longer dealing with the complications that he had to deal with."

A statement released by the church this morning confirms Long died early Sunday morning after “a gallant private fight with an aggressive form of cancer.”
