Bushwick Bill...Geto Boys Rapper Dead At 52 by Nobody: 6:47pm On Jun 11, 2019 |
Bill's reps confirm he died Sunday evening 9th of June 2019 surrounded by family at 9:35 PM in Houston. His publicist says plans are underway for a public memorial. His son, Javon, tells TMZ ... Bill's final words were, "I will love you forever." Bushwick Bill, real name Richard Shaw, was 52. Bushwick Bill, one third of iconic rap group the Geto Boys, is in bad shape ... but still battling with pancreatic cancer. TMZ broke the story ... Bill was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February. Just last month, he told us he was undergoing intensive chemotherapy, and had hoped to get back on the road. Bushwick Bill, Scarface and Willie D became the Geto Boys in Houston back in 1988 and signed with J. Prince's Rap-A-Lot Records. The group was instantly controversial for its graphic lyrics which made radio airplay almost impossible. Their 1991 album "Can't Be Stopped" still went platinum, though, on the strength of classics like, "Mind Playing Tricks On Me." Just a few weeks ago, the rap trio was trying to put together a reunion, but it fell apart at the last minute. SourCe: TMZ.Com
