Just days after the death of yet another LFO member, former vocalist Brad Fischetti is breaking his silence on the “death curse” that continues to plague the band.
ICYMI, at the end of last month Brad took to Instagram to reveal Brian ‘Brizz’ Gillis, a founding member of the pop group, had passed away. In his caption, he wrote about the loss of Brizz — and even addressed the band’s tragic story:
The other two members of LFO, aka Lyte Funkie Ones, Rich Cronin and Devin Lima, were also mentioned in the 47-year-old’s memorial post. Sadly, Brian is the third member of the group to die young. Rich passed away in 2010 at 36 due to leukemia and Devin died in 2018 — at just 41 years old — after a bout with adrenal cancer. So, so sad.

For years fans have whispered the band has some sort of a curse due to the tragedies surrounding them — and for the first time ever the sole surviving member of the band is addressing those theories.
While speaking with TMZ on Sunday, Brad said he hopes there’s nothing to it, but it’s spooky:
He did go on to note, however, he agrees it’s “weird” how so many people not just in the band — but connected to the band — have tragically died young:
Whoa… it definitely starts to look like a curse when it’s all laid out like that!
Brad admitted he really doesn’t understand why LFO turned out this way, nor does he understand why his bandmates were the ones who died and he wasn’t. These have to be tough issues to grapple with:
Regardless of all the loss he’s experienced, he says he feels like it’s his responsibility to keep his friends’ legacy alive — and he’s doing so by continuing to tour and make music in their honor:
So much tragedy and heartache follows
