Numerous music industry media sources (including Billboard Magazine) reported on Wednesday (December 23) that a member of the legendary hip-hop group “Whodini” has passed away.
Founding member John ‘Ecstacy’ Fletcher (pictured) was confirmed dead by his beloved fellow bandmate, Grand Master Dee. Prior to Dee’s public confirmation of Ecstacy’s death, The Roots co-founder and drummer Questlove publicly broke the sad news as well.
“One love to Ecstasy of the legendary #Whodini,” Questlove wrote, according to Variety Magazine.
“This man was legendary and a pivotal member of one of the most legendary groups in hip hop. This is sad, man,” he continued.
