Rich Cronin Hope Foundation

In the spring of 2005, singer/songwriter Rich Cronin was diagnosed with Acute Mylogeneous Leukemia. Experiencing first hand the challenges of fighting this frightening disease, it became evident that global awareness is key in the survival of so many individuals impacted by Leukemia every year. And so, Rich made a pledge to use his voice, not just to entertain people, but to send a message to others with Leukemia, that there are survivors and that we are on the way to more hopeful prognoses. He decided to use his voice to send a message to everyone who has the power to save one of those lives, right in their blood, in their bone marrow, in their heart-felt compassion. Rich decided to use his voice to send a message about HOPE.
"I've seen a lot of terrible things," says Rich Cronin about Leukemia and its affect on its victims and their loved ones. "If people could just look up and see someone like me - someone fighting and getting back to his regular life - then maybe that will inspire someone."The voice that Rich pledged to use to spread awareness is speaking to you now. It is speaking to all of us from the heart of someone who has seen the challenge, felt the challenge and is living with the challenge. He is fighting the good fight, just like so many others. The voice is asking you to take the time to read all of the information contained here on this site and learn how you hold the power to save a life.Life truly is the most fragile gift to behold and the most amazing gift to give.

Sad news hit the pop music world this week, as LFO lead singer Rich Cronin died Wednesday, Sep. 9 at the age of 36 after a long battle with leukemia. Cronin, best-remembered for his group's 1999 smash hit "Summer Girls," was also LFO's principle songwriter. After he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005, Cronin became a tireless advocate for prevention and treatment of the disease, launching the Rich Cronin Hope Foundation to encourage blood and bone marrow donors. He also released a solo album, "Billion Dollar Sound," in 2008, and appeared on VH1's "Mission: Man Band," a reality show featuring former boy band members.

Oh boy! It’s a Battle of the Man Bands!

Kingston homey Rich Cronin, late of LFO, former ’N Syncer Chris Kirkpatrick, Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees and Bryan Abrams of Color Me Badd are getting a second chance at fame and fortune thanks to their new VH1 reality show, “Mission: Man Band.”

But an L.A. group called the Man Band claims the cable network stole its name.

“With this show coming out, we can’t play a venue in L.A. without people expecting those (expletive) clowns,” complained Man Bander Tony Vitale, aka Man O’War, in an e-mail to the Track. “I mean, they should be expecting THESE (expletive) clowns!”

The Man Band has taken its case to MySpace [website] and YouTube and the group’s plight even has made VH1’s “Best Week Ever” show, which leads some to suspect their campaign is a hoax - and may even be a network promo for the “Mission: Man Band” show.

“It’s not a publicity stunt,” swore Chris Lee, aka Man Lee. “We really want them to stop.”

Chris told us that the group, which started in Savannah, Ga., when the members were in college, applied for a trademark back in 2005. He said they’ve hired an attorney who contacted VH1 on their behalf, to no avail.

But a network spokeswoman said the cable channel is sure there is no issue with the name, pointing out that the reality-show band is actually called SureShot, not Man Band.

The show follows the four aforementioned ex-boybanders as they attempt to make career comebacks with SureShot. It debuted two weeks ago and has already made Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List.”

Cronin, whose LFO career was sidelined while he battled leukemia, has a message posted on Man Band’s MySpace site giving props to the L.A. group.

“We bow down to the Man Band,” said Cronin. “We are Man Band fans.”

Night out with the boys in the band

It wasn't quite "Girls Gone Wild," but a bevy of beauties did show up at Saint the other night to catch a glimpse of former boy banders Rich Cronin of LFO, Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, and Chris Kirkpatrick of 'N Sync. (Along with Color Me Badd's Bryan Abrams, the three appear on the new VH1 reality show "Mission: Manband.") The lads were joined later by former New Kid Jordan Knight, who knows something about fame and fortune. Who proved most popular with the ladies? Kirkpatrick.
