We’ve got a lot to talk about and I would like to square up a couple things with the boy. No bad vibes or nothing like that but we just need to talk,” he said at the time.
The singer’s last moments are up for debate, but according to someone at the hotel he was staying at, he was acting “erratic” on the day he died. He reportedly smashed his laptop on the front desk of his Buenos Aires hotel and had to be carried to his hotel room.
