It’s been reported that Kelly’s death may have been the result of a heroin and cocaine overdose, another sad reminder of the fragility of fame and the demons that young stars often battle behind closed doors. Since I learned of Kelly’s passing, I’ve searched for information about him on the Internet. All I’ve found are articles about his tenure with Kris Kross and his death. The intervening years are a mystery, save for an interview with Yahoo prior to the duo’s reunion for Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def 20th anniversary concert in February. Apparently, post-Kris Kross, Kelly went to school to become a music engineer. He struggled with Alopecia, which caused his hair to fall out and fueled false rumors that he had cancer. And he continued to wear his clothes backward. The rest of the story, we may never know.

I said it before, we're losing too many musicians at such young ages...

I posted about this earlier in the "This day in music" thread about Kris's Death.
