LFO singer Devin Lima dies of cancer
LFO singer Devin Lima died early Wednesday morning after a yearlong battle with cancer, Variety has confirmed. He was 41. TMZ first reported the news.
The boy band, which gained popularity in the ’90s, consisted of Lima and Brad Fischetti. The pop group was initially a trio, with lead singer Rich Cronin, but disbanded in 2010 after he died of leukemia at the age of 35.
Lima and Fischetti reunited and resumed touring in 2017. They recently released their first new song in 15 years, “Perfect 10.”
The duo was set to commence touring earlier this year, but put their plans on hold when Lima was hospitalized in late 2017 after doctors discovered a tumor on his adrenal gland.
LFO, which sold more than 4 million records worldwide, is best known for their hit songs “Summer Girls,” “Girl on TV” (the music video featured actress Jennifer Love Hewitt), and “Every Other Time.”
Their debut album, “LFO,” sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide, and scored two Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, with “Summer Girls” and “Girl on TV.” Their sophomore and final album, “Life Is Good,” debuted in 2001.
