He was one of only 20 legends from whom a bust was also made. On 26 January 2020, Bles was also inaugurated as a living legend in the South African Legends Museum. More than 20,000 mourners turned up for his funeral. Bles died in a motorcar accident on 24 March 2000, leaving behind his wife, Leonie, and children Sunette and Victor. He actually managed to draw a bigger crowd than Frank Sinatra did when he opened the Super Bowl in 1982. His career highlight was when he performed to a soldout 8,000-seater Super Bowl at Sun City, five times on one weekend, becoming the first and only artist to do so, as feature artist on 14 and 15 November 1987. In the skit, Shuster, dressed as an Afrikaner lady, became irate when Bridges refused to give her a rose. This was also the basis for a Leon Schuster skit, in the hit movie, Oh Schucks. It was his custom to hand out roses to some of the female audience members in the front row at his concerts. His wife Leonie was his sound engineer and the composer and/or songwriter of most of his songs, including most of his biggest hits, including "Maggie" and "I am the Eagle, you're the Wind", among others. He had cancer during the 1980s and gave generously to charity for cancer research after his recovery. In the 1980s, he held a concert in support of the Volkshulpskema (People's Help Scheme) of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, a far right paramilitary organisation, which raised R10,000. His biggest hit was "Ruiter van die Windjie" (Rider of the Wind), which was released in 1986. The first song - a duet with Patricia Lewis (and his last song as it turned out, as he died within a week of finishing it) - was "The First Kiss Goodnight" by Dennis East it was recorded on 21 March 2000. In 2000, he began recording an album with his friends in the music industry. Soon Bles Bridges began alternating between Afrikaans and English language albums, to great acclaim. Up to 2016, he sold over 3 million records, making him the biggest selling male singer in the Afrikaans Music industry. At the time of his death, Bles had sold more than 2.6 million albums (records and CDs). The album had sold twice that by the time his third album was released.

His professional career began in 1984, with the release of his second album, Bles, which went gold in under a month (25,000 copies) and included Maggie, one of his better-known songs. He made his 1st album in 1972 under the nickname, Morné with a lady called Mimi van Heerden, called, Adios, my skat.He released his first solo album in 1982, Onbekende Weermagman (Unknown Soldier). Married to Leonie Bridges from 1969 until his death on 24 March 2000, he also had a long-term relationship with Marietjie van Heerden in the 90s. He became known as Bles Bridges, as his Irish grandfather called him "Bles" (meaning "bald" in Afrikaans), due to his very thin hair from an early age.

If I had a dream come true, my next movie would be Mama Jack 2. In an interview with the Sunday Times Leonie Wagner, Schuster said: “I’m so sorry that I can’t make Mama Jack 2. In his 2018 chat with the Sunday Times, Schuster lamented that he wouldn’t be able to make a sequel to the film. Schuster used makeup and prosthetics to disguise himself as people of other races for pranks or for fictional characters like Mama Jack. The removed films include You Must Be Joking, You Must Be Joking Too, Oh Schucks… It’s Schuster, Sweet ‘n Short, Schucks! Pay Back the Money, Mr Bones, Mr Bones 2, Mama Jack and Frank and Fearless. It is completely innocent,” in an interview with Netwerk24. Schuster has been floored by the news claiming: “I cannot believe that the content of my movies causes any harm.
