what a tragic loss.. it seems everything about modern music is dying all around us. Please everyone.. TURN OFF THE RADIO..go to live concerts for local artist, support the people who are passionate about music and not money..i swear if i see anther baggy pants rapper talkin about how many b$%^ he F#$%^ and how much money he has im gonna puke..its asinine. music is the only thing our culture had left.(yea we have obama) but what does he have to be proud of considering our state of conscouisness?
Miss this sound, music today aint shit! We need an Ohio concert worldwide: Slave, Ojays, Levert, Zapp, Ohio Players, Boosty, and anyone else I failed to mention.
Had no idea his son died..wow.. this really breakz my heart. i loved me some Roger and saw his son on tv a few timez. spittn image of his dad..now this..man smh.. was hoping he could continue keepn the legacy alive... loving the music as well by his son. R.I.P. to Roger and Roger jr.
Roger was murdered allegedly by his older brother who was his manager, and when Roger decided to go solo, and to fire his manager also brother he shot him 4 times and then shot himself, That's why it was never public, I'm guessing the family would want to keep that as private as possible, the older brother also was a part of Zapp, so an even greater loss than we know has been tragically taken from us and it when by almost un-noticed! which makes it even worse that they are gone, rip roger&zap
I did meet him, many moons ago in Memphis. He and Roger's nephew hung out with my cousins and I after a show they did with Dana Dane. It was called the Rapper vs The Zapper. Of course Roger blew it up. I thought about Roger Jr a lot over the years. He sure was a good kisser....
Wow! I never Roger Troutman had a son..This is the first time, I never heard his singing...Sounds a lot like his father..Just a shame, that these senseless acts of violence occur towards others. May They Rest In Peace.
I did not know Roger lived in Saint Paul. Dam I live in mpls wish I met him. But from time to time I use to see him on myspace but I could not believe he lived in Saint because the Twin cites is kind of low key town.
I grew up with Roger JR. in Saint paul, Mn. He was funny and a terrific baseball player. I can still hear him crackin' jokes playin' centerfield while I played 2nd base. His mother is a wonderful woman and I pray that God may bring peace to her heart. I remember first album and how the whole 'hood was so proud of him.
I grew up with LiL Roger in Saint Paul, MN. I can still see him playing centerfield on our little league basbeball team or hoopin' at Dunning Playground. His head injury was not an accident. He was assaulted. I miss him dearly and can still hear his laugh. His mother is a wonderful woman and I pray that God can comfort her heart. I miss ya and will never 4get you.
Not at all. Rumor has it that the alleged killer was the ex bf of Roger's gf . I've searched for police reports, etc, but nothing. Roger was assaulted in the fall and died in Jan the next year.
hi you will find an article about the late Roger Troutman's death from Rollin Stone's Magzine website hope this is helpful, also you can read my comment above yours.
This is about the FATHER's death( lead singer of Zapp). Roger Troutman had a son( same name) who was murdered and was a talented musician as well. I went to the website, but all I could find was info regarding Roger Troutman Sr's death. If I missed something on this website please let me know. Thank you
Never This Legend Roger Troutman had No convictions his love for music was his whole lifes course. One of the very few family artists that Never did drugs also respect for that. Unfortunately his brother Larry shot him dead in his apartment then drove a block away and shot himself. Larry shot Roger due to Jelousy. He also has 2 other brothers Lester & Terry Troutman. R.I.P Roger respect.
What was really wrong with the Troutman brothers/family - so much talent and so much tragedy? Why..........? and now the siblings Lynch/tragedy - what is wrong. I hope there is some light and better days for this family now. so much loss
Roger has a few actually. His other son, (Precision aka Larry Gates)did the guitar work on Fiesta by R.Kelly back in the day. It's a shame that his kids aren't as well known as he was because they are very talented in their own right..
my nam e is lareese, and roger troutman jr. was my dads best friend- i miss seeing him every night at da crib posted up laughing n kickin it wit fuzzy n ned-this was a big friend of the family truly forever missed we love you rog.
It is a shame both Roger's are gone. I loved Zapp and Roger's music,and it is directly responsible for my guitar playing. I got to see Charlie play with just a piano and his voice-I will never forget that.
I grew up with Roger Lynch. He has a little brother(Also Troutmans son) who is an up and coming artist. Can't remember his name. From St. Paul, Mn. Same as Roger (Lynch)
When is B.Lynch gonna drop an album? I've heard a few of his cuts from his myspace but mostly instrumentals. I think other than Larry Gates, He's the only one of Roger's sons recording anything. Lookin forward to hearin' what he does eventually drop though.
HE IS THE SON OF ROGER TROUTMAN SR. WHO WAS SHOT TO DEATH BY HIS OWN BROTHER WHO THEN KILLED HIMSELF.Roger Troutman II (a.k.a. 'Lynch'), the son of Roger Troutman of the group Zapp, suffered a head injury several months ago.
On 22nd January, 2003 he passed away from his injuries in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.
Roger Troutman's brother killed him over a long on-going fued. I'm glad the Brothers Johnson sorted their fued out before it got tragic.
