LMFAO part ways
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 September 2012
It looks like the party-rocking LOLs are over for pop act LMFAO for the time being, as the duo’s Redfoo has said – with sincerest regret – that he and real-life nephew Sky Blu have parted ways to concentrate on solo schemes.
For Redfoo, aka 37 year-old Stefan Gordy (son of Motown founder Berry), those slightly surprising schemes are mostly sport-related. As this photo verifies, he’s been performing with US Olympic gold-winning gymnastics quintet the Fierce Five, acting as tennis coach to Japan-born junior Ayaka Okuno, and is even composing a (party rock) anthem for pro football squad the New England Patriots. So, that’s all happening.
Gordy, who doesn’t rule out his and Sky Blu’s potential to reform, is quoted by News.com.au as saying: “I feel like we’ve been doing this for so long, five or six years. And we’re kind of like saying, well, let’s just do what’s natural and just kind of explore that, instead of like forcing it all the time”.
Touching on his own solo music-based projects, he adds: “All the music that I’m going to make is always going to be LMFAO-ish… I love all the topics that we talk about. I was really passionate about bringing party music to the world, so I will always be making some kind of party music”.
As we await the advent of that party music, why not look at Popdust’s slideshow of LMFAO’s ’32 Butt-Ugliest Outfits’ to pass the time, or check out Popjustice’s tear-jerking tribute to everyone’s favourite party rockers?
