Regrettably gone at the age of 75. Gave us one of the greatest soliloquies in cinema history*, and wasn’t the one he was supposed to deliver.
Time...to die.
*IMHO, obviously.

To paraphrase one of his last film speeches (in Valerian) -
In its great wisdom, the Central Committee has decided to use all resources necessary to release Rudger from Earth's gravity. His new course is set with the Magellan Current. Like the great explorer Magellan, he will journey into the unknown. The symbol of our values and knowledge, he will carry a message of peace and unity to the furthest reaches of the universe. Our thoughts and prayers go with you. Godspeed, and good luck.
