The “Sopranos” cast is mourning the loss of one of their own.

Shortly after news broke that Vincent Pastore, who played Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s “The Sopranos,” had died, his co-stars began paying tribute to him.

In a statement to Page Six, Edie Falco said, “It’s an awful loss. So unexpected.”

The actress, who played Carmela Soprano on the series, added, “Vinnie was always so full of life.”

Michael Imperioli, who played Christopher Moltisanti on “The Sopranos,” called Pastore a “beloved friend and collaborator” in a heartfelt Instagram post.

“This is a hard one for us, it seems like I’ve known Vinny forever,” he continued. “We did lots of work together and traveled all over the USA as well as Italy and Australia. Lots of good times. Lots of laughs.”

Imperioli concluded his tribute by noting that Pastore “was a kind hearted brother who cared deeply about his family and friends,” noting, “I will miss him always.”

In a post shared to her Instagram Stories, Lorraine Bracco wrote, “Such a funny & charming man…just a beautiful soul.”

The actress, who played Jennifer Melfi on the hit show, called Pastore’s death “absolutely heartbreaking 💔.”

Dominic Chianese, who played Corrado “Junior” Soprano, wrote in an Instagram post, “We lost a friend today.”

“Paying respect and sending Love in tribute,” he continued. “You were a gem Vinnie🤍.”

Page Six confirmed Pastore’s death at the age of 80 on Saturday, with sources telling us he was found dead by a neighbor in his home on City Island in the Bronx.

Police sources told Page Six the actor had died of natural causes.

In a heartfelt statement to Page Six, Pastore’s longtime manager, Robert Attermann, mourned his death in a lengthy statement.

“I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before ‘The Sopranos’ made him a household name,” Attermann said. “To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable ‘Big Pussy,’ but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more.”

Attermann called Pastore “one of the kindest, most generous people [he’d] ever known,” noting that he “treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph.”

“He loved being an actor. He was passionate about his craft and was always encouraging, respectful, and generous with young actors, taking the time to offer guidance and support whenever he could,” he continued, calling Pastore’s loss “deeply personal” for him.

Attermann said he’ll remember Pastore not just for his “remarkable career but also the incredible person he was.”

“I will miss his friendship, his loyalty, his humor, and his heart,” he wrote, offering his condolences to Pastore’s family, friends, colleagues and “countless fans whose lives he touched.”

He noted that the actor “leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond his memorable performances” and that he’ll “be greatly missed and never forgotten.”

Pastore starred on “The Sopranos” for the iconic show’s first two seasons. He returned for a recurring role in Season 3 and returned in a guest capacity for the final two seasons.

“The Sopranos,” largely regarded as one of the greatest dramas of all time, aired for six seasons between 1999 and 2007, earning critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout its run.

Pastore joins the growing list of “Sopranos” cast members who have died over the years, including James Gandolfini, Nancy Marchand and Jerry Adler — to name a few.

Slipknot has fired DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson after nearly 30 years — and just months after the rocker’s split with fianceé Kelly Osbourne, according to a report.

The “Duality” musician, 49, was notified late Friday afternoon that he had been permanently let go from the legendary heavy metal group, TMZ reported.

No explanation for the decision has been reported, and the band has yet to announce a replacement.

Wilson joined Slipknot in 1998 as their ninth member, shortly before the release of their self-titled debut album in 1999, and he remained with the group for 28 years.

He performed under the stage name “#0” and handled turntables, keyboards, samples and sound effects for the Grammy-winning metal band.

Page Six has reached out to reps for Wilson and Slipknot for comment on his reported departure.

Wilson’s reported firing comes four months after he and Osbourne called off their engagement after four years together.

They share a 3-year-old son, Sidney, who was born in November 2022.

Osbourne and Wilson first met in 1999 when Slipknot performed at the Ozzfest music festival, but they didn’t begin dating until decades later.

Wilson proposed to Osbourne backstage in July 2025 during her father Ozzy Osbourne’s Black Sabbath farewell concert in Birmingham, England, just weeks before the rock icon’s death.

Wilson also endured a frightening health scare in August 2024 when he suffered severe burns to his face and arms after an explosion at the farm he shared with Osbourne.

He later showed fans his injuries, which included singed eyebrows, burn marks across his face and arms and a blister on his lip, while assuring them he was on the mend.

Beyond his work with Slipknot, Wilson also toured as DJ Starscream, a solo project inspired by the “Transformers” villain of the same name.

Wilson’s exit marks another major lineup change for Slipknot, whose original roster has steadily dwindled over the years.

The band’s nine-member lineup after its breakout 1999 album featured Corey Taylor, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Mick Thomson, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Chris Fehn and Wilson.

Since then, keyboardist Jones and percussionist Fehn have both left the group, while bassist Gray died from a drug overdose in 2010 and drummer Jordison died in his sleep in 2021.

Today, only singer Taylor, percussionist Crahan, and guitarists Thomson and Root remain from Slipknot’s classic lineup.

Formed in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1995, Slipknot became one of the world’s biggest metal bands with its signature masks, intense live shows and hits including “Duality” and “Psychosocial.”

Authorities have released the full contents of the alleged ransom notes sent after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from her Arizona home nearly six months ago.

One of the letters — which were sent to Arizona outlet KOLD-13 on Feb. 2 and Feb. 6 — seemingly proves the kidnappers had “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mom, with details about a smartwatch being left behind, and a back floodlight from her home having been smashed.

“Hello Savannah, We have your mother Nancy,” the Feb. 2 note read, adding that the Guthrie matriarch “is safe but scared.”

“She will be held for ransom and once payment is received she will be released unharmed,” it continued.

“We will be holding her for a maximum of 7 days. You will need to send bitcoin in the amount of $4 million USD before 5PM on Thursday the 5th. If payment is not received, the ransom will be increased to 6 million USD which will need to be paid by 5PM on Monday the 9th.”

“Once payment is received to the bitcoin address below she will be released within 12 hours of deposit to a safe drop off location back in Tucson. If payment is not recieved [sic] by the last deadline on Monday the 9th at 5PM, she will be killed,” the note demanded.

“Your mother is aware of this and her life is in your hands. It is in the best interest of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible. You will not be able to contact me from here on out, there will be no negotiation. Do not play games, law enforcement will not be able to help you,” it continued, along with a redacted segment.

“She had a white smart watch on the floor of the foot of her bed and the white flood light in backyard was destroyed,” the message concluded.

A second note claimed Nancy, 84, had passed.

“Guthrie Family, We did not fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition. We never intended to hurt her, that was not our intention. She perished shortly after she was taken. We believe it was heart related. She is buried in nature now. Nothing you could have done could have changed the outcome. We want your family to know this and hope you all can find peace. We are truly sorry,” the Feb. 6 note read.

Identifying information, including the sender’s name and email address, were redacted.
