The 2016 death toll keeps adding to its musical supergroup.
Word tonight is that Attrell Cordes, best known as Prince Be, one half of R&B-pop group P.M. Dawn, has died at the age of 46.
A post on the official P.M. Dawn Facebook page from his brother Jarrett “Doc G.” Cordes, reads, like song lyrics: “Prince Be Rest In Peace Forever More/Pain from diabetes can’t harm you anymore/My Heart is at Peace B-Cuz U suffered so long/Tell Grandma I said Hi & Stay Blisstatic & Strong.”
Cordes was apparently suffering from diabetes, and TMZ reports he died today (June 17) at his New Jersey home.
P.M. Dawn are best known for their 1991 Billboard Number 1 hit “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss,” which sampled Spandau Ballet’s “True”. Pour one out and listen to it below.
