Another member of the 80s hit group Force MDs has passed leaving two original members. TCD (center) died of ALS, Mercury (far right) died of a fatal heart attack, the group’s DJ and another member who left after the first album Dr. Rock passed  and now Trisco (2nd from left and far right in lower picture) has lost his battle with stage 4 cancer.  The group’s biggest hit 1985’s Tender Love, written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis catapulted them into superstardom and top 10 status on the pop charts but the group had major problems internally ranging from drugs to prison sentences.force-bwforce-mds-now
