Shifty Shellshock coma

Shifty Shellshock coma - Former Crazy Town singer and "Celebrity Rehab" star Shifty Shellshock, 37, reportedly fell into a coma at a Los Angeles hospital. Shellshock was taken to the intensive care unit last week. He's said to be in an unresponsive state and there is no information on what caused him to be sent to the hospital Crazy Town singer Shifty Shellshock is in a coma, according to reports.

TMZ says that the frontman is currently receiving treatment in a hospital in LA, and has been in the Intensive Care Unit since last week. Although there has been no official confirmation of what caused his condition, sources close to the singer are suggesting it could have been drug-related.

Shellshock, real name Seth Binzer, has suffered from a number of high-profile substance abuse problems and appeared on US reality shows Celebrity Rehab and Sober House to seek treatment for drug addiction. It is also reported that he was set to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing this week, following his arrest for cocaine possession in February of this year.

In March 2011, Binzer was arrested over an alleged domestic disturbance, after police were called to his home following reports of an altercation between him and his girlfriends and detained him after discovering he had outstanding warrants. However, he insisted that he "didn't do domestic violence" and that police had been called to his home because his girlfriend "was being too loud". Instead, he claimed that the arrest was in relation to an incident with a security guard at a Los Angeles nightclub in 2006

Crazy Town are thought to be working on their third studio album and follow-up to their 2002 effort 'Dark Horse' but, despite a new track titled 'Come Inside' leaking online last year, there have been no new details about the LP.

Per noialtri è uno dei classici casi di "una canzone e via": il tormentone Butterfly, nell'anno di grazia 1991, aveva fatto diventare famosi i Crazytown e il loro tatuatissimo frontman Shifty Shellshock anche qui in Italia. Dopo quell'episodio erano pressoché scomparsi, anche se la band aveva continuato a suonare fino al 2003 e poi di nuovo a partire dal 2007, e nonostante la collaborazione del loro leader a Starry Eyed Surprise di Paul Oakenfold, che gli aveva suggerito una veloce incursione nella carriera solista: Slide Along Side era stato un successo radiofonico anche da noi.

Ora Shifty, vero nome Seth Binzer, torna in prima pagina ma non per motivi musicali, purtroppo: il musicista e rapper è in coma da giovedì in un ospedale losangelino, anche se la notizia è stata diffusa solo a partire dalla notte scorsa dall'ubiqua agenzia TMZ. Il trentasettenne non sta migliorando nonostante i trattamenti.

Negli Stati Uniti Shellshock/Binzer è noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione a due reality come Celebrity Rehab e Sober House: da entrambi i programmi, condotti dal contestato psicologo tv Dr. Drew, Seth era scappato per procurarsi cocaina e crack, dipendenze dalle quali non si è mai liberato del tutto: a febbraio era stato arrestato per possesso di cocaina ed era in attesa di processo. Ambienti vicini alla famiglia ritengono che proprio gli stupefacenti siano all'origine del coma.
