You are thinking of Michael Penn. The song "No Myth" (also known as Romeo in Black Jeans) was one of his hits.
I had the album a few years back, and it was excellent. He really is a talented musician.
My condolences to the Penn family.

That was Michael Penn.
Did Chris die of embarrassment?
Shows what happens when the mods get itchy fingers. A thread about this gets moved to chat. A second thread gets yanked. Now this thread. Bet it won't be the last either - particularly if it is moved out of the news area again.
Me too. Sorry to hear this!
just looking at the changes in his face, i would say he was doing more than just gaining weight...his nose looks way different too.
from what?
This ain't DU.
yippers............

This is very sad. Does anybody know if he had a family (wife and kids).
Wishing death to Sean is a bad thing? Go sing a round of kum by ya and you'll feel better.
Loser!
Damn, I think you're right. Just how many Penn's were there?
He was likeable in Footloose as Bacon's hick buddy.
I remember him looking like this. I guess it was a long time ago.
How very sad to end up dead and alone in your apartment for two days. He was too young.
Try DU, they love your type of comments.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many people in showbiz
die long before their time.There must be more to it than just booze and drugs.
Being as fat as he was, he probably died from a heart attack. Like John Candy, a fat person can only last just so long.
