Shifty Shellshock, frontman of Crazy Town, shared several posts on Instagram that hinted at internal struggles before his death.
One of the posts included a photo of graffiti on the ground with “True Love” written in black and pink ink. Beneath it, there was a smaller “Long Beach” and a large heart.
“I’m a lover than a fighter …but the one I need to love more Instead of fight with is myself .. mr shifty true Love # Sober alive and grateful,” he captioned one of the most from April.
His last post featured a group of men dressed in all white with white ski masks. In the middle of them was a man dressed in all black and a black ski mask — a “black sheep,” so to speak.
He captioned the post, “To the ones who stay even when I try my hardest to scare [them] away 🖤”
