Former 90s Stars Find Themselves Homeless: Shocking Life Stories.
According to The Sun: Many musical stars once had their shining moment, but not all have maintained popularity and financial stability. Sometimes, after the fame fades, they face severe financial difficulties.
Recently, a former member of a cult rock band from the 90s launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money after tough times.
GettyGuitarist Arik Marshall joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1992, replacing John Frusciante. Although his career was filled with successful performances, he now finds himself in a difficult position regarding health and employment.
As of today, Arik has managed to raise $2000 of the $20000 needed to settle his debt with the landlord.
“Arik has been diagnosed with a serious illness that left him with a weakened immune system,” confirmed campaign organizer Jizetta Igaldo.
Unfortunately, Arik is not the only one who has suffered from unexpected financial hardships after a brief period of success.
