From UPI
The lead singer of the R&B group Hi-Five, Tony Thompson, was found dead outside an apartment complex in Waco, Texas, possibly the victim of a drug overdose. Initial reports said it appeared the singer had died of a drug overdose Friday, but the official cause and time death had yet to be released, Allhiphop.com reported.
Thompson lead Hi-Five to a No. 1 hit in the 1990s with "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)," which was produced by Teddy Riley and appeared on the group's self-titled debut album.
They broke up in 1994 but in 2006 they released "The Return" on Thompson's record label, N'Depth.

I really do not know anything about them, but a sad way to end.

I can remember Hi-Five really well, very sad to hear of his passing.

Weren't Hi-Five the guys that had that brief Top 40 hit in 1999?
That's what I was thinking and my first reaction was, how did this guy afford drugs for an overdose? Sad way to go though.
