The rock world was shocked last week to learn of the passing of original Faith No More vocalist Chuck Mosley. Mosley lost his battle with drug addiction, according to a statement from his family.
As hard as it must be for Mosley's family to deal with his death, it's likely even harder to have to deal with everything that goes into arranging somebody's death – including funeral costs. The family have launched a GoFundMe in the hopes that fans can help with expenses, and have included this message:
Chuck Mosley enriched, entertained, saved, changed, and otherwise affected countless lives over his 57 years, but sadly outside of music and cooking and generally being the sweetest heart on the planet, Chuck never understood the importance of planning ahead.
He has left his life long partner, two daughters, and his grandson without the ability to send him off properly or to move into their next phase of life without their loved one. The Mosley and Logan family are asking for help to raise money for a small private memorial for family and friends to mourn their loss. Additionally, we would like to organize a large scale, loud, bright, beautiful concert to celebrate the music he gifted us with over the years.
The memorial will be soon, so the family can say goodbye, but the concert will be planned far in advance, so that Chuck's friends and family from all over the globe will have a chance to make the trek and share in the powerful event.
Chuck deserves a unique and tasteful send off, followed by punk rock and as much chaos as we can legally get away with.
Please direct any questions, comments, criticisms, or feedback, to me, douglas esper.
I ask, as a personal favor, that you respect the family's privacy. Please be respectful of their loss regardless of your views on addiction, drugs, rock music, tattoos, people of different races, or anything you feel compelled to voice your displeasure about. This is not the time or the place for your political, ideological crusades. This is the time to let everyone know how much Chuck and his family mean to us.
