I don’t mean to sound unsensitive or anything-words can not describe what it is like to loose a child-but I have a feeling that we are not going to see the Detox album this year, if ever, because of this. I would not blame him for scrapping it if he did. What do you think?

Everyone is all “conspiracy!”. Whatever. He was young, and RICH. I mean it doesn’t take the Mythbusters to figure out how a kid dies like that. My bet, drugs or alcohol poisoning.

My condolences go out to you and your family Dre I can’t say I know how it feels to lose a child because I have’nt been through it but I do know how it is to lose a loved one and I’ll keep your family in my prayers…..
