Stubbs also guest starred in a number of TV shows as himself. Berry Gordy offered him the role of Louis McKay in the 1972 film Lady Sings the Blues, opposite Diana Ross as Billie Holiday, but Stubbs turned it down, once again not wishing to overshadow the other members of the Four Tops. He was diagnosed with cancer, in 1995, and later he was no longer able to tour with the group after a stroke. Stubbs died in his sleep on October 17, 2008, at his home in Detroit.
