Actor Khan Bonfils died Jan. 6 when he collapsed during a play rehearsal in London, Britain's Telegraph reports. He was 42.

The production was scheduled to open Jan. 8, but has been postponed until this weekend at the earliest.

"The entire company are in shock," a spokesperson told the Telegraph. "There is absolutely severe sadness, it is a real tragedy. I think they are holding it together by talking it through and by being there for each other."
