NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Cuccione, youngest of the five-member spoof boy band 2gether, has died at age 16 from complications from Hodgkin's disease.
"His lungs just gave out," his uncle, also named Michael Cuccione, told MTV News on Tuesday. "We weren't really expecting it."
Cuccione died Saturday, eight days after his birthday, of complications from respiratory failure in his hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia.
