Randy Gonzalez, Dad of TikTok Duo Enkyboys, Dead at 35:

Gonzalez died Wednesday morning following a battle with colon cancer.

Gonzalez, who documented his battle with the disease on social media, first shared his diagnosis last April, telling fans he was first diagnosed about six months prior and given two to three years to live.

At the time, Gonzalez said chemotherapy could extend his life up to five more years. The popular TikTok personality created a GoFundMe to help pay for his treatments, after he claimed he was denied care at the University of Texas cancer center, stating that they did not accept his insurance.

In addition to their beloved father-son videos, Gonzalez and his 6-year-old son, Brice, used their account to spread awareness about colon cancer. Gonzalez's most recent health update came in December, where he informed fans that his treatments were going well.

Tom Verlaine, Founding Member of Rock Band Television, Dies at Age 73

Band’s album ‘Marquee Moon’ is widely considered one of the best records of the 1970s

An era-shaping guitarist with an experimental, adventurous flair and a spiky, angular sound, Mr. Verlaine was best known for his work as the frontman of the short-lived Television, which broke up after two albums that met with meager commercial success.

The band’s 1977 album “Marquee Moon” is widely considered one of the best records of the 1970s. Mr. Verlaine, who became a solo singer-songwriter after Television, also collaborated with musicians including David Bowie and Patti Smith.

Led by Mr. Verlaine on vocals, Television helped define the guitar sound of the punk era by embracing a rawer style of improvisation that departed from traditional blues. Despite its modest sales, Television laid a sonic foundation for decades of punk, alternative and post-punk bands.
