Just How Sick is Lucious on 'Empire'? The entire first season of Empire (which seems like decades ago at this point) was centered on Lucious Lyon slowly dying of ALS and having to choose a son to be his successor.

However, Willis says it was a much more recent figure that drew her to the recurring part. I was on tour, and I had a layover day in New York. My agents had reached out to me and said, ‘Hey, there’s this role on Empire to do this Amy Winehouse- type rock star,” Willis tells The Hollywood Reporter.
