Chuck Mosley

The first singer of Faith No More and the inspiration for a lot of bands from the 90s onwards. He was fired from the band in the late 80s and ended up singing for the bad brains during the early 90s before starting another band called Cement. The band wouldn’t last though as an accident incapacitated Mosley causing him to leave the music scene for awhile before resurfacing later on in the 2000s with another band called VUA.

Chuck would go on with his friend Douglas Esper and did a tour playing some of his old FNM tracks and some of his own solo stuff as well. The shows were more stripped back and had Mosley playing an acoustic guitar with a backing band that included Esper.

Chuck was found dead on the floor of his living room by his partner, Pip Logan. The cause of death was an overdose.

“Well, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it...” We Care A Lot by Faith No More

Chuck was an original and he’ll sorely be missed by loved ones, friends, and fans.

Person 1: Who’s Chuck Mosley? I thought Mike Patton was the only lead singer of Faith No More.

Person 2: Nah. Faith No More had multiple singers before getting Chuck Mosley and then Mike Patton.
