The news of Crazy Town's Shifty Shellshock's passing in June shook the music world. The 90s icon, whose real name was Seth Binzer, was discovered lifeless in his home at the age of 49. It was a heartbreaking loss for his loved ones, friends, and fans alike. After his death, there were speculations as to what could have caused it. But now, the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner has confirmed that it was an accident.
According to the official report, Binzer's cause of death was a combination of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine. It was a tragic end for the talented musician, and his band's manager, Howie Hubberman, revealed that drugs played a role in his passing. In an interview with People magazine, he shared, "Seth Binzer, after struggling with addiction and Crazy Town's success with 'Butterfly,' was never able to fully confront and overcome his addictions. We all tried, but ultimately, we failed, and Shifty is no longer with us."
The news of Binzer's passing was a devastating blow to those who knew and loved him. His cause of death was ruled as an accident, but it was clear that he had been battling substance abuse for a long time. Despite his struggles, Binzer had always been open about his journey to sobriety. Just a few months before his passing, he shared an emotional post on Instagram about his commitment to staying sober.
Binzer's musical journey began in 1992 when he met Crazy Town's co-frontman, Epic Mazur. They initially called themselves Brimstone Sluggers, but in 1999, they formed Crazy Town and rose to fame with their hit song, "Butterfly." The song topped the charts and sold over 1.5 million copies. However, their follow-up album, "Darkhorse," was not as successful, and they eventually went their separate ways.
Despite the ups and downs of his career, Binzer's talent and passion for music were evident. He had a unique sound and style that captivated audiences worldwide. But behind the scenes, he was struggling with drug addiction, and it eventually took his life.
Binzer leaves behind two children, a son named Halo from his marriage to Melissa Clark and another son named Gage with a woman named Tracy. He also had a tumultuous relationship with model Jasmine Lennard, and in 2022, he started dating his childhood friend, Soleil Moon Frye. Their relationship was short-lived, as Binzer was arrested for driving under the influence in Los Angeles.
The news of Binzer's passing was a reminder of the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of seeking help. It was a tragic end to a talented musician, but his legacy will live on through his music. Rest in peace, Shifty Shellshock.
