Former FAITH NO MORE singer Chuck Mosley has died at the age of 57.
His family has issued the following statement: “After a long period of sobriety, Charles Henry Mosley III lost his life on November 9th, 2017 due to the disease of addiction.
“We’re sharing the manner in which he passed in the hopes that it might serve as a warning or wake-up call or beacon to anyone else struggling to fight for sobriety.
“He is survived by long-term partner Pip Logan, two daughters, Erica and Sophie, and his grandson Wolfgang Logan Mosley.
“The family will be accepting donations for funeral expenses. Details to follow when arranged.”
In a November 2016 interview with The Quietus, Mosley denied that his substance abuse was the reason he was fired from FAITH NO MORE in 1988.
“Off the road, I would go out and get f**ked up and do stuff, but when I was on the road, I would have a couple of beers a night,” he said. “There were a couple of times where I got too drunk, but, you know, that was just punk rock, and that was who I was and stuff. But 97 percent of the time, absolutely not. You know there was a time, I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but somebody passed me mushrooms while we were playing. I never felt them until hours later when we were done. That happened one time in Mississippi. But other than that, no, it wasn’t true. And if it was true, it was when I wasn’t with them. That was my own downtime, and that’s kind of my weakness.”
