Following Sean's death, his agent Off The Kerb Productions released a statement.
"It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Sean Lock," they wrote. "He died at home from cancer, surrounded by his family.
"Sean was one of Britain’s finest comedians, his boundless creativity, lightning wit and the absurdist brilliance of his work, marked him out as a unique voice in British comedy.
"Sean was also a cherished husband and father to three children. Sean will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
"We kindly request that the privacy of his family and children is respected at this difficult time."
At the time, Bill went on the confirm that Sean passed away after a secret battle with lung cancer.
Bill told ITV News : "He had been diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago and it was at the time quite a blow, particularly when it was quite advanced. We've tried to make the most of the last few years.
"We spent a lot of time together and went on trips together. And he's continued to work. He's amazingly courageous and tough individual who was mentally strong throughout the whole time. I'm just grateful for the time we have had together."
He added: "A lot of comics are talking about the fact that he inspired them to become comedians. He was the one that gave them the strength and courage to carry on as comedians - it's a tough business. He was fearless and determined and that's what gave them strength."
