from James L. Brooks' lawyer: "show will go on, Harry will not be part of it, wish him the best.". (1/2)
Shearer is know for voicing characters such as Ned Flanders, Mr Burns, Waylon Smithers, Lenny, Kent Brockman, Otto, Reverend Lovejoy and Principal Skinner.
It was reported earlier in the week that Shearer was holding off signing a new contract, with TMZ claiming it could be due to merchandising payments.
Will the show go on? The Simpsons announced it was renewed for two more seasons earlier this month, and is currently in it’s 26th season.
One thing’s for sure, fans aren’t happy.
@theharryshearer there's no Simpsons without you, Harry. Simple as that.
