Rich Cronin liked it when the girls stopped by for the summer.

The singer-songwriter, who fronted 90s pop trio LFO, died Wednesday after battling leukemia. He was 35.

Cronin penned the group's biggest hit, "Summer Girls," which namechecked everything from Abercrombie & Fitch to Home Alone to Alex P. Keaton and spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Single Sales chart in 1999.

Lance Bass tweeted this evening: "Sad sad day that Rich Cronin died- was a amazing guy. : ("

Cronin was first diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia in 2005. He started the Rich Cronin Hope Foundation to raise awareness about the disease and educate the public about donating blood and bone marrow.

It always breaks my heart when someone loses to cancer.

I'm taking part in a 24 hour cancer walk this weekend, alot of people in my family have died due to cancer, most recently my 14 year old cousin, so this is something that really gets to me, even though I didn't really know who he was.

God bless R.I.P.

That's very commendable of you. I've always wanted to take part in something like that. My cousin died back in 2007 of cancer and it was the first time I'd ever felt grief (we were extremely close). And it's like I said, whenever someone loses a battle to cancer, it always hits close to home.
