Patrick Dempsey shared an emotional tribute to his former Grey's Anatomy costar, Eric Dane, following Dane's death at age 53. During a Friday, February 20, appearance on Virgin Radio U.K.'s The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, Dempsey, 60, said, "I just woke up this morning and it was very sad to read the news. It's hard to put into words. I feel really so sad for his children." The former McDreamy actor went on to share details about Dane's final days, revealing that mutual friends recently visited the late star. Dane died Thursday, February 19, nearly a year after revealing his ALS diagnosis.
