A record-breaking daredevil who performed alongside Madonna at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show is one of two men who died in a BASE jumping accident near Moab, Utah, over the weekend, according to the Grand County Sheriff's Office.
Andy Lewis, best known for setting a highline record 480 feet above Las Vegas in October 2013, died during a tandem jump with another diver Sunday in Mineral Bottom, Utah, authorities said.
"He was a very big personality," one Moab resident told Fox News Digital Monday. "Everyone knew him."
Lewis' final Instagram video, posted Sunday not long before his death, showed him doing a flip off a cliff in the desert outside Moab.
