Former Skid Row singer Johnny Solinger dies - CNN

"We are saddened to hear the news of our brother Johnny Solinger," the band said in the post Saturday. "Our thoughts are with his family, friends and fans. Godspeed Singo. Say hello to Scrappy for us."
Solinger announced on his Facebook page in May that he was hospitalized after being diagnosed with liver failure.
"It is with a heavy heart I must let everyone know what's going on with me and my health," he said in the May post. "I have been hospitalized for over the last month. I have been diagnosed with liver failure. And the prognosis is not so good."
A verified GoFundMe campaign was created shortly after by his friend Brian Lawrence to help pay for his medical bills and palliative care.
Lawrence has been posting updates on Solinger's health regularly since the fund started in May. The campaign raised $16,525 of its $100,000 goal.
On Sunday, Lawrence posted an update from Solinger's wife Paula saying: "Johnny has passed. I was holding his hand. He went in peace. Thank you all. I will take a break from everything but please know I am forever grateful for your love."
Skid Row started in 1986, according to the band's website. Solinger replaced original lead singer Sebastian Bach in 1999.
CNN has reached out to Solinger's wife and the organizer of the GoFundMe campaign for a statement.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
