The U.S. Surgeon General just revealed that one third of the United States’ population is obese (and another third is overweight). Sounds like a great time for The Fat Boys to come out of retirement, huh?
At least the two surviving members (Prince Markie Dee and Kool Rock-Ski) are mounting a comeback. Buff the Human Beat Box kicked off in 1995 from a heart attack that no doubt had something to do with his morbid obesity.
The pair team with producer Elijah as they launch an ambitious come-back. The fatties aren’t just set to make a new album, but also claim to be cooking up plans for a reality series to help them pick a new third member as well as a children’s cartoon series. No concrete details about their huge comeback attempt have been made available.
