Former Jozi and YoTV member Luther 'Crazy Lu' Cohen has died, his family confirmed on Friday night.
Crazy Lu's brother, Marvin Cohen, a former producer on SABC 1 entertainment show Live Amp, said they were informed of his death at about 3am on Friday morning.
“All we know is that he died at 3am this morning [Friday] from an apparent asthma attack. He's been an asthmatic his whole life. A year ago he fell into a coma from a bad attack,” said Marvin.
