  3. this was the first place I came when I heard JJ Passed. Nobody I know even knows who he was or his music. Such a sad day, I did not know he had a weak heart and was very shocked of his passing :(

    1. You don't have to have a weak heart to die from heart attack... sometimes things like this can happen randomly, to anyone. But I'm sure jj did smoke, did drink, so that might have been one of the reasons.

    2. He had heart problems long before the fatal heart attack.
