News of Shellshock’s death was confirmed by the\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0medical examiner after he was found dead at his home in LA on Monday (24 June).<\/p>\n

Shellshock, whose birth name was Seth Binzer, co-founded Crazy Town in 1999 after meeting his fellow frontman, Bret Mazur, a few years earlier.<\/p>\n

It has now emerged that the 49-year-old shared a mystifying message just eight weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Taking to\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0in April, over the course of just two days he posted eight pictures, one of which read ‘don’t you ever f**king apologize for being yourself’ – just one of several cryptic messages.<\/p>\n

The first of the eight pictures he posted was a picture of him as a child, with blonde locks – instead of the bleach blonde hair he sported in the 00s, strikingly different to the now more familiar bald look he donned.<\/p>\n

Another was a quote from co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, Rick Rubin, which read: “Aiming at greatness is different than aiming at being better than someone else.”<\/p>\n

The next came after the ‘don’t apologize’ post mentioned earlier, the post read: “Thugged it out in silence & ima win the exact same way.”<\/p>\n

The posts are heartbreaking to scroll through as Bizner gives an insight into his battles at the time. One of his posts was of his shoes and he was stood over graffiti reading ‘love’, as well as rose petals.<\/p>\n

His caption read: “I\u2019m a lover than a fighter \u2026but the one I need to love more Instead of fight with is myself .. mr shifty true Love # Sober alive and grateful.”<\/p>\n
