Krayzie Bone In Dire Straits!

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Krayzie Bone had a serious medical emergency.

It was reported that Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member (de facto leader) Krayzie Bone is currently in the hospital and is fighting for his life. The junk food media reports that the Cleveland based rapper was having internal bleeding and checked himself into a Los Angeles hospital.

According to the outlet’s report, immediate medical scans showed a leaking artery in one of the rapper’s lungs. Doctors conducted emergency surgery, but the bleeding persisted. On Sunday (Sept. 24), the 50-year-old remained sedated and relied on a breathing machine for respiratory support.

Krayzie’s condition was reportedly complicated by his ongoing battle with sarcoidosis. The inflammatory ailment causes the immune system to overreact, forming clusters of inflamed tissue called granulomas in vital organs. Per the American Lung Society, sarcoidosis often targets the lungs and lymph nodes and can become life-threatening.

Born Anthony Henderson, Krayzie Bone formed the group with Bryon McCane (Bizzy Bone), Steven Hawse (Lazyie Bone), Stanley Hawse (Flesh-n-Bone) and Charles "Chuck" Scruggs (Wish Bone) as B.O.N.E. Enterprise in 1991. They released their independent debut album, Faces of Death. They were discovered by Eazy E in 1993 and signed them to Ruthless Records. 

Flesh-n-Bone was imprisoned when the group signed the deal. The members have since reunited as a group of five.

They debuted an EP, Creepin On Ah Come Up which brought them into the mainstream.

Eazy E died before they released the national debut album, 1999 Eternal was released.

Since, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have released 10 albums and are preparing for a final album.

Krayzie Bone as a solo artist has released 9 albums.

Fun fact: Bone performed with the late rappers Tupac Shakur, Eazy E, Notorious B.I.G. and Gangsta Boo. Several members performed with the late rappers Big Pun and Bad Azz.
