According to TMZ, family and friends are planning a "close, intimate ceremony" for LFO singer Rich Cronin, who died earlier this week after a long fight with leukemia.
The wake will be held on Sunday in Kingston, MA, with the funeral the following day.
LFO was a rap/pop trio who broke out in 1999 with the song "Summer Girls". They had a handful of hits over the next few years, but went on hiatus in 2003 due to frustrations over their boy band image. In 2009, they announced that they were reuniting, but then officially broke up in September.
Rich Cronin was a founder and lead singer of the group. After LFO, he was on the VH1 reality show Mission: Man Band, which saw him and other boy band veterans try to form a new group. In 2008, he released a solo album called Billion Dollar Sound. During this time, he was also a member of the duo Loose Cannons with ex-Bad Ronald rapper Doug Ray.
Rich was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005, but by 2006 was in remission. His condition worsened over the summer and he died after a stroke on Wednesday at the age of 35.
