Chuck Mosley, a musician best known for fronting an earlier lineup of Faith No More, has died at the age of 57. While details are scarce, Mosley's publicist said he died on Thursday (November 9) due to addiction-related issues following years of sobriety.
Mosley was a member of Faith No More from 1984 to 1988, during which the band released their albums We Care a Lot and Introduce Yourself.
Mosley was let go from the band in 1988 after his erratic behaviour resulted in numerous altercations with the band, including allegedly punching bassist Billy Gould onstage.
Outside of Faith No More, Mosley enjoyed a solo career. More recently, Mosley reunited with Faith No More for a handful of shows in 2016.
