Threatin have returned with a new song titled “Die Young.” The track comes amid bandleader Jered Threatin’s alleged battle with a life-threatening illness.
The following was said about the single:
“Due to severe health issues, Jered Threatin has been hospitalized. After years of misdiagnosis, it was discovered that he had a life-threatening illness. Following a series of heart attacks, he underwent an emergency open-heart surgery that left him in a coma.
In a race against his declining health, ‘Die Young‘ was recorded in the weeks leading up to his hospitalization. The new song has been released with a music video / mini-documentary that chronicles his battle with the fatal condition.”
This news comes after Threatin previously went viral after a massive con that led to a European/UK tour. That incident saw him and his wife impersonating a label, publicist, booking agency, etc. and buying social media likes to score the trek. However, attendance was extremely low and ended with Threatin losing lawsuits that were filed by musicians he swindled. Once everything hit the fan, Threatin tried to pass himself off as a clever mastermind and booked a comeback show, which had a low turnout as well.
