LFO lead singer Rich Cronin has died.  Cronin passed away on September 8, 2010, after a long battle with leukemia.  Cronin is responsible for writing LFO's smash 1999 hit song, "Summer Girls."  According to ETOnline, Cronin passed away after suffering a stroke in a Massachusetts hospital.

Cronin was first diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia in 2005, three years after LFO's breakup.  As he began treatment for the disease, Cronin established the Rich Cronin Hope Foundation.  Melissa Holland, manager of the organization, confirmed that Cronin had died, saying the group "regretfully and sadly announces the passing of our founder and hero, Rich Cronin. Rich passed away today after a long battle against leukemia. I promise to continue our mission to one day WIN the good fight. Life will not be the same." 

Cronin went into remission in early 2006.  His treatment included chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant.  In 2009, Cronin joined his former band mates for an LFO summer reunion tour.  ''Entertainment Weekly'' reports that LFO had "hoped to tour this December" and "possibly record another album.

Several fellow musicians, including some of Cronin's former band mates posted condolence messages on Twitter and Facebook.  LFO's Brad Fischetti had this to say via Twitter:

"Thank you for all the kind messages. Devin [Lima] and I will miss our brother Rich. May he rest in peace with our Lord in Heaven. Please pray for his family."

N*SYNC's Lance Bass tweeted "Sad, sad day that Rich Cronin died--was an amazing guy."

Rich Cronin turned 35 two weeks before his death.
