Seth Binzer, the frontman of the band Crazy Town, passed away at the age of 49.
Rapper Shifty Shellshock of Los Angeles was a founding member of the rap rock group that recorded the 2000 hit song “Butterfly.”
According to the LA Medical Examiner’s Office, Binzer died on June 24.
What murdered the rapper who was discovered dead at home is still unknown.
Binzer founded Crazy Town with Bret Mazur, whom he met in 1992.
The two founded Brimstone Sluggers in 1995 and went on to form Crazy Town in 1999.
Butterfly was their best-selling and most successful hit, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and remaining there for two weeks.
Over 1.5 million copies of their debut album, The Gift of Game, were sold, and their single peaked at number one in a number of different nations. This success, though, was short-lived.
The band disbanded in 2003 as a result of the poor reception their second album, Darkhorse, had upon its release in 2002.
During this period, Binzer received assistance from British musician and producer Paul Oakenfold for his solo endeavors.
With Binzer on vocals, Oakenfold’s 2002 song Starry Eyed Surprise peaked at number 10 in the UK and number 50 in the US.
After Crazy Town broke up a year ago, Binzer released Happy Love Sick, her debut solo album, under the stage name Shifty.
The band reformed as Crazy Town in 2007, however Mazur and a few other members left in 2017, leading to the name change to Crazy Town X.
There are no adequate words to express it.
The father of three who has battled addiction in the past has received a lot of positive feedback.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mazur posted on Instagram regarding the passing of his bandmate.
The other half of Crazy Town, he said, “left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him and on the music we created together with Seth’s incredible talent and larger-than-life personality.”
For Seth, being sober was a struggle throughout his entire life. He constantly engaged in both public and private combat in this war. Despite the difficult circumstances, he brought joy and vitality to everyone around him.
“While we are hopeful that Seth has at last found the serenity he has been seeking for so long, I truly wish that his story could have ended differently.”
The most treasured childhood memories are those that my Crazy Town family and I shared. We recall the happy and sad moments, the jokes and the knowledge gained. All those experiences shaped who we are now. Seth’s trip was filled with incredible loving and creative moments despite some difficult periods.
Mazur also emphasized the value of abstinence and exhorted those in need of assistance to do so.
“Words cannot express how deeply we will miss Seth. We shared music with him, and he remarked, “His family is in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.” Those who loved him will always feel his presence.
Seth, peace be with you. You will always be loved and in our thoughts.
He added some melancholic captions to some old friends’ photos.
The first sentence remained unchanged. “I remember you best when you were a kid riding a skateboard and the world was in front of you,” LA photographer Mike Azria posted on Instagram. Love and regards to your family.
Under Binzer’s most recent post, producer Nikki Minton commented, “I have no words for how sad this is.”
My oldest and closest friend. We shall miss him. I apologize to everyone who lost him.
“It really hurt my heart.Another acquaintance exclaimed, “Why, God damn it, Seth? I’ve known you since we were young.
“Just crushed many people’s hearts. I love you, old friend. Rest in peace.
Those who were grieving over the rapper’s passing discussed his drug use.
Peacefully rest, Sheepish. I’m addicted to narcotics.One person commented, “I really hoped that you would get better after you got sober.”
Binzer appeared as a guest star on the reality TV series Celebrity Rehab 1 and 2 as well as Sober House 1 and 2.
UPSETTING POSTING
A few weeks ago, he posted on Instagram about his sobriety.
The rapper spray-painted a picture of flowers and a love heart on the sidewalk.
“More affectionate than combative…However, I must love myself more than I must struggle,” he captioned the photo.
“True love, Mr. Shifty; sober, alive, and grateful.”
Alice McMunn, musician, friend, and actress, discussed the depths of the man’s troubles in her homage.
It has been expressed. “Honestly, I have seen his struggle over the past 10 years, and it was one of the hardest things I have ever seen,” the author stated in her story.
Due to his drug abuse, the musician has already come dangerously close to passing away.
According to TMZ, Binzer’s friends and family believe that his drug use in 2012 caused him to go into a coma.
The U.S. Sun has requested an answer from Binzer’s record label and event promoter.
This is awful news, according to Krushkill Records.
