LFO’s Brad Fischetti Reflects on Bandmates Deaths

LFO's last surviving member Brad Fischetti emotionally

The 50-year-old star is one of the original members of the American pop band that was formed in 1995 alongside Rich Cronin and Brian 'Brizz' Gillis. After his exit from the group in 1998, Gillis was replaced by Harold 'Devin' Lima. 

Cronin passed away at the age of 36 in 2010 after suffering a stroke following a five-year battle with acute myelogenous leukemia. 

Eight years later in 2018, Lima died at age 41 after a 13-month battle with stage four adrenal . And in 2023, Gillis with his cause of death not being publicly disclosed. 

Fischetti opened up about their heartbreaking deaths in a snippet of ID's Boy Band Confidential, per People - which is set to premiere on April 13. 

Back in 2005, the music artist remembered receiving a phone call from Cronin's brother - who told him that Cronin had been diagnosed with leukemia. 

'I had heard that Rich was having trouble with his legs. So I texted him like, "Hey man, I heard you were having some trouble walking. I figure there's two ways to get you out of bed - one is a beautiful blonde, or a tour."'

Fischetti had asked Cronin if he wanted to go on tour once again - but never got a response. 

Fischetti previously admitted in 2023 that he was not afraid of the so-called 'death curse' plaguing the 90s pop band after Gillis' passing; Fischetti seen in 1997
