Lee Siegfried, famously known as “Crazy Cabbie” to fans of “The Howard Stern Show,” has passed away at the age of 55, according to multiple reports. The cause of his death has not yet been disclosed.

Siegfried, who hailed from Minnesota, gained prominence as a DJ for 92.3 K-Rock in New York and several other radio stations, including major ones in the Twin Cities area. His moniker “Crazy Cabbie” stemmed from his early radio days on “The Andy Savage Show” in Minneapolis, where he was frequently referred to as “Cabbie.” Upon the arrival of Howard Stern’s show in the city, Siegfried transitioned to the “KQRS Morning Show.”

A beloved figure among fans of “The Howard Stern Show,” Siegfried was known for his razor-sharp wit and adventurous spirit. He became a regular guest on Stern’s show, where he engaged in various antics, including boxing matches and confrontations with fellow show members like “Wack Pack” member Angry Black and former Stern Show personality “Stuttering” John Melendez.

In a heartfelt tribute shared by radio host and DJ Cane Peterson on Facebook, Siegfried’s passing was confirmed, stating that he passed away peacefully with his partner Lexi by his side. Peterson described Siegfried as having an “insatiable lust for life” and a “heart of gold,” expressing the sentiment shared by many who knew him.

Siegfried’s death marks another loss for the Howard Stern Show community, coming less than a year after the passing of Al Rosenberg, a writer and performer on the show, and Ralph Cirella, Stern’s longtime friend and stylist.

As news of Siegfried’s death spreads, tributes pour in from fans and colleagues alike, remembering him for his contributions to radio and his larger-than-life personality. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter and entertainment, cherished by those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
