"In his 18 years as an astronaut, he was fortunate enough to visit worlds and see sights no artists eye, past or present, has ever viewed firsthand and he hopes to express these experiences through the medium of art," NASA wrote in its biography on Bean.

Bean was hospitalized in mid-May after traveling to Indiana for a speech, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported. He was later the subject of death rumors on social media, with celebrities such as Tom Hanks — who starred in "Apollo 13" — reflecting on Bean's life.
