Following Duvall’s tragic passing, Gilroy told The Hollywood Reporter, “My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.”

Gilroy, who had previously been in a relationship with pop superstar Madonna from 1979 until 1980, was born in New York City on May 19, 1947, and is now 77. His relationship with Madonna is depicted in the 2019 documentary movie Madonna and the Breakfast Club, in which actor Calvin Knie plays him.

He has also worked as an actor, appearing in the Disney Channel’s children’s movie Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme (alongside Duvall) and the television series Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle (which Duvall co-created).

His most significant musical success came in 1987 when Breakfast Club’s single “Right On Track” peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
