LFO's lead singer Rich Cronin was 36 when he died in 2010 from leukemia. Fischetti is the sole surviving member of the band.

LFO scored two top 10 hits in 1999, "Summer Girls" and "Girls on TV," and disbanded after Cronin's death. However, in 2017, Lima and Fischetti teamed up again as a duo and went back on the road. They also released their first new song in 15 years, "Perfect 10."

“A few days before he passed away he said to me, 'Bro, when it’s over, just tell them I disappeared,'" Fischetti concluded. "My friends – Harold 'Devin' Lima has disappeared.”
