Earlier this week it was reported by Collider that Andrew Lincoln, better known as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead, is walking away from the show after season nine.

An unnamed source told US Weekly that: “Andrew is leaving because he’s had enough of it and wants to focus his energy on movies.”

But, although he is now confirmed to be exiting the show, his co-star Norman Reedus shared a heartfelt tribute to the show’s lead man on Instagram yesterday.

In the black and white photo, Andrew, 44, who portrays Rick Grimes, has his arms around 49-year-old Norman while he rests his hands on his back and head.

The star captioned the image: “This photo will always be one of the best moments in The Walking Dead series!”

Lincoln has been a feature of the show since the very beginning, playing the sheriff-turned-apocalypse leader, but his future involvement has been the focus of much speculation in recent months.

This isn’t the only changeup that has happened on the show in recent months. Rick Grimes’ son Carl (Chandler Riggs) was killed off last season, and there are rumours that Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene) might be the next one to leave.
