I honestly only know him from Missy's Lose Control but god that is so sad. What a nightmare for everyone there.

Same - as soon as I saw his name I heard "Fatman Scoop!" in my head from the intro. RIP.

Oh no! So fucking young. I remember jamming to 'Put Your Hands Up' twenty fucking years ago and it is a bop TO THIS DAY, RIP to a legend!

edit: just found the song is called 'Be Faithful', I've been lying to myself for 20 years???

Same, but discovered it had a name like 8 months ago 😆

This is terrible. Heart Attack?

[cleanofslate]

could be many things. blood clot, aneurism, spy dart of poison to the neck, fainted for some other reason and hit his head in a way that killed him...

this is heartbreaking, i was literally listening to 'be faithful' to go to sleep last night.

Oh nooooooo :o(

Be Faithful is such a core memory for me - I hear it and I'm immediately back in freshman year, at the Monday student night in our favourite nightclub drinking sugary alcopops and making ill-advised flirting choices
