The widow of radio giant Rush Limbaugh, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, joined Glenn Beck on his radio program on Tuesday. She was there to reflect on her late husband’s life and legacy.
Kathryn said that she believes one of his greatest attributes was that “he was so humble. He had the biggest heart. He was so sincere, [and] he never forgot the little guy.”
Glenn Beck asked if the rumors were true about what was on Rush’s death certificate. It was alleged that his occupation was listed as “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.” Kathryn laughed and answered that it was true.
“Yes. We have to be on brand at all times. Very important … it was a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved.”
Glenn also asked Kathryn about Elton John famously playing at their wedding in 2010. He wanted to know if John knew that she was marrying the conservative talk radio star.
“He did!” Kathryn answered. “And this may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working, they both were at the top of their game, so to speak, they both loved their audience … so in many respects, they were very similar.”
Kathryn first announced Rush’s cause of death as complications from lung cancer. She appeared on his show on February 17. The death certificate was obtained by People magazine and it indicated that Limbaugh died in his Palm Beach, Florida home and was buried in St. Louis. The certificate was filed on February 19 and issued on February 23. Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn Limbaugh, is listed as the person who provided the information for the document, according to TMZ.
He remains popular as a right-wing radio host and still draws 15 million listeners weekly.
