Rich Cronin has fought a good fight.

Reveals TMZ, the legendary frontman of 90's boy band LFO passes away at 35, after a marathon bout with leukemia.


The pop star along with his band, which stands for Lyte Funky Ones, spurred popular hits such as 'Summer Girls' and 'Girls on TV', which featured former flame and actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The band parted ways in 2002.

Cronin was first diagnosed with the disease, namely, acute myelogenous leukemia back in 2005. It had been a constant battle ever since, but that didn't stop the musician from pursuing other doors of opportunity.

In 2007, he starred in the VH1 reality series Mission: Man Band, along with former boy banders like Color Me Badd's Bryan Abrams, Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, and N Sync's Chris Kirkpatrick. The show revolved around the quartet's struggles in forming their own band.

KirkPatrick gave tribute to Cronin, as his Facebook profile was updated with the message, "RIP to a great friend Rich C." Lance Bass, on the other hand resorted to Twitter, which read "Sad sad day that Rich Cronin died-was an amazing guy."

The man lived life to the fullest.
