Boy band fans devastated after 90s group wiped out - with survivor's tribute
LFO were a huge 90s boy band – but the group was struck with tragedy when three members all died young. Now the remaining star is performing as a tribute to the friends he's lost LFO may not have hit the heights of fame like 'NSYNC or Backstreet Boys, but back in the day their track Summer Girls had every teen humming along. The hopeful boy band shot their cheery music video at New York's Coney Island amusement park's beach and pier back in 1999. Litttle did they know of the horrific fate that awaited, bringing LFO to an end as three of its four members died. Yet an astonishing 26 years later, the band's sole survivor is performing again in memory of the friends he lost. Brad Fischetti, now 49, has been singing with The LFO Story, recently wowing crowds in Celebration, Florida, with a special gig. Formed in 1995 after Brad and Rich Cronin connected with Brian 'Brizz' Gillis in New Bedford, Massachusetts, LFO struggled initially. Their fortunes turned when Brizz departed in 1999, and Devin Lima's joining led to their chart-topping success, with Summer Girls reaching No 1 in the US and No 16 on the UK Official Singles Chart. LFO's song was packed full of 80s and 90s references including Cherry Coke, actors Macaulay Culkin, Kevin Bacon and Michael J. Fox, their fellow boy band New Kids On The Block, and even Abercrombie & Fitch. The band seemed destined for stardom as they clinched the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award for Favourite Group of the Year in 2000, performed over 230 gigs – including opening for pop sensation Britney Spears – and even unleashed their own line of dolls in 2001. However, the fickle tides of music trends meant they had a disappointing second album, prompting them to part ways in 2002. Rich Cronin then faced a fierce battle with leukaemia but emerged victorious post-treatment, expressing gratitude for his charmed life in showbiz: "I am truly thankful for the success I had," and adding wistfully, "And if it happens again, that'd be really nice. I'm just that same guy writing pop songs to make people happy. And I still only like girls in Abercrombie and Fitch." In an inspiring turn, LFO got back together in 2009, hitting the road with their music. But all was not well, as Rich's health waned again, with his band mates rallying round him reminiscent of UK sensation The Wanted's support for Tom Parker amidst his own cancer battle. Reflecting on their renewed bond in the shadow of adversity, Brad shared in 2010, "He was so happy. We really became soulmates. Devin and I both realised how much we loved him, despite the differences we had in the past." Despite Rich's valiant battle with his illness, he tragically passed away in Boston in September 2010 at the age of 36. Seven years later, in July 2017, Brad and Devin released a fresh LFO track – their first in a whopping 15 years. They vowed to continue their musical journey and always remember Rich. Yet just three months on, more heartbreaking news arrived. This time it was Devin who received a devastating blow. He discovered he had an extremely rare form of cancer and nderwent surgery to remove a tumour the size of a football from his stomach, as well as one of his kidneys. Before his hospital admission, Devin said that he didn't believe it was a type of cancer and simply wanted it removed from his body. Although his surgery appeared successful, a year later, Devin sadly succumbed to his illness at 41 years old, leaving behind his girlfriend and six children. And in another shocking turn of events, original LFO member Brizz also passed away in March 2023, at just 48. His family did not disclose the cause of his death. Posting on Instagram earlier this month, Brad Fischetti honoured his bandmates after his LFO Story gig, saying: "We honored the boys in a big way. The LFO Story show last week was beautiful and epic. Thank you for the love and support. Big thanks to the all of who made it possible and to @ for hosting us. The biggest thanks to Rich and Devin for leaving a beautiful legacy behind. We will nurture it and honor you for as long as the people will allow us to." Fans have been swift to post their broken-hearted responses, with one saying: "Devin and Rich are there in spirit and are proud of you @thereallfo. Thank you to Trevor for helping to honor Devin and Rich," while another commented: "Those guys are extremely missed." A third simply said: ""We miss u Rich & Devin."

Rosé's Latest Single Launches As Low As Possible
Rosé recently released a new single, and while that's usually cause for celebration and a huge debut on charts globally, the cut hasn't been promoted (at least not heavily) as her next focus track. The Blackpink superstar still appears to be concentrating on 'Apt.,' her Bruno Mars collaboration, which brought her to the highest reaches on rankings around the world in late 2024 and continues to dominate to this day. The singer doubles up on several important rankings in the United Kingdom this week as her latest offering arrives. But on one tally, it brings the singer to a new career low. "Messy" just barely manages to reach the Official Singles chart, the list of the most consumed songs throughout the U.K., which blends both sales and streaming activity. The tune, which was written and recorded for the soundtrack of the upcoming film F1, opens at No. 100, landing in absolute last place. "Messy" easily stands out as Rosé's lowest-charting tune on the Official Singles chart. That makes sense, since a track can't appear any lower and still find space on the roster. That distinction previously belonged to "Number One Girl," one of the singles taken from her solo album Rosie. That cut peaked at No. 84, where it debuted in late 2024. "Messy" performs much better when looking at pure purchases. The track launches inside the top 40 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts, entering at Nos. 28 and 29, respectively. Rosé earns her fifth win on the Official Singles chart, but only narrowly, as "Messy" arrives. She has now collected one more smash – an even half-dozen – on both of the sales tallies. On all three rankings where "Messy" debuts, 'Apt.' outperforms it. The track is still present at No. 26 on the Official Singles chart and appears at No. 13 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads lists. Amazingly, even after 30 frames on all of those rosters, it continues to perform better than Rosé's newer tune. That's likely due not just to continued promotion, but also a general love from the public for the collaboration.

Jess Glynne 'parts ways with record label' after blow with low album sales
Brit Award nominee Jess Glynne is said to have parted ways with record label EMI - which is part of Universal Music Group - after releasing just one album together Singer Jess Glynne has reportedly parted ways with her record label after just one album. It's been suggested that the collaboration didn't go to plan and the BRIT Award nominee is said to be planning her "next moves" already. It was announced in 2022 that Jess, now 35, had signed with EMI - which is a brand within Universal Music Group. She has since released one album, Jess, but it's now been reported that she has parted ways from the record label. The Sun reports that it comes after the album - which is her third to date - didn't do as well as she had hoped. Unlike her previous albums, which topped the charts in the UK, Jess peaked at Number 6 after its release in April last year. A source told the outlet: "Jess knows plenty about having massive hit singles, so there was a lot of excitement when she signed her deal with EMI Records. But it's not exactly been the fruitful relationship that either had hoped." The source said that the album "didn't do as well" as they had wanted and noted that none of the singles from it managed to break into the Top 40 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK. The source also suggested that she's had a "tough time reintroducing herself" after some time away. "Both she and the label decided it was for the best to stop working together," the source said. They added that Jess "isn't letting it dampen her spirits" and teased she's already planning her "next moves" amid working on new music. Jess first enjoyed success as a featured artist before releasing albums herself. She notably appeared on Clean Bandit's Rather Be and Route 94's My Love, which both topped the charts after being released back in 2014. The following year, Jess released her debut album, I Cry When I Laugh. It went on to top the Official Albums Chart upon its release in 2015. That album featured the chart-topping singles Hold My Hand and Don't Be So Hard on Yourself. Other tracks on her first album included Ain't Got Far to Go. It was followed by her second album, Always In Between, in 2018. She once again topped the album charts with that release. Her second album featured the singles I'll Be There, which itself reached Number 1, and other song including Thursday, which peaked at Number 3. The tracklist also included All I Am. More recently, her latest album, Jess - which was her first after signing with EMI - peaked at Number 6 on the Official Album Chart after it was released last year. It featured tracks such as Silly Me and Friend of Mine. The latter, which was the song from the album to chart, reached Number 87 on the Official Singles Chart in November. As well as her chart success over the decade since her debut in the music industry, Jess has received several awards. In her career to date, she's won Ivor Novello Awards and is a BRIT Award nominee.
