Also in music......
R&B supergroup Boyz II Men started out as a quartet in the 90s, but in recent years they've become a trio. Now the three remaining members are revealing why Michael "Bass" McCary is no longer in the group.
Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman sat down for an interview to talk about their career in the industry recently and dished on why Michael (who we all had a crush on) was kicked out.
Nathan says,
"There were some issues where he got lazy and wasn't doing all the things it takes to be a member of Boyz II Men."
And though Nathan admits Michael had health issues in 2003, he says it was actually Mike's poor work ethic that got him booted.
Hmmm....sounds like there is a deep story behind that split.
Watch their interview here:
Blu Cantrell Bonnie Jill Laflin Bridget Moynahan Britney Spears Brittany Daniel Brittany Lee
