Popstar! Here is a message from the Popstar! crew.
We at Popstar! were shocked and saddened to learn that 2Gether member Michael Cuccione, famous for his portrayal of girl-crazy 'QT' on the show, had unexpectedly passed away on January 13.
Michael had twice survived Hodgkin's disease as a kid, and contrary to rumor did not succumb to that disease. Instead, his lungs had been weakened by earlier chemotherapy and they collapsed under the added strain of pneumonia.
Michael lived a courageous life. He conquered cancer and went on to establish a wonderful foundation to raise money against the disease (see www.mtv.com for more info), The Michael Cuccione Foundation for Cancer Research. He also inspired millions of people battling the disease, and motivated his fans to get involved with charitable causes.
We would like to extend our sympathies to Michael's family, to his 2Gether family (especially Evan, Noah, Kevin, and Alex) and to all his grieving fans.
If you get sad thinking about Michael, think back to this quote have gave Popstar! in his first interview with our magazine: "This is beyond my wildest dreams, I am living out my dreams." He was talking about the fun he was having as a 2Gether member.
Let that be a lesson to us all - live your life to its fullest and you will inspire others to do the same.
