Tony Thompson, the lead singer of 90′s group Hi-Five was found dead yesterday (June 1) in his hometown of Waco, Texas outside of an apartment complex around 10:00 pm.
The cause of death has not been confirmed, but sources say he died of a drug overdose.
ABOUT TONY:
Thompson and Hi-Five hit #1 with 1990′s “I Like The Way (The Kissing Game),” which was produced by R&B/Hip-Hop producer Teddy Riley and taken from the group’s debut, Hi-Five.
The album also produced singles like “I Can’t Wait Another Minute” and “I Just Can’t Handle It.”
Hi-Five broke up around 1994 but reunited and released a new album The Return in 2006 on Thompson’s record label N’Depth. READ MORE

I’m saddened by the death of my teenage-love. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t going to marry Tony T back in the day. I still bump to I like the way…blast it when it comes one. I was waiting on his return. RIP my brother. I can hear you singing w/ the heavenly choir(s) now! Condolences to his family and friends.

I am thirty years old and Can remeber all of hi-five songs from back in the 90′s. how everybody can say he died from and drug overdose that’s just media say. people need to respect the family, And tony thompson was talented with smoothe vocals and was the finest one out of Hi-five. I can remeber standing in front of the tv singing quailty time, and The kissing game. all I have to say is rip tony.

He is one of my favorite singers of all time. I loved the group and his solo work. For the people who said they dont know who he was, then you must have never owned a radio nor had cable in the early 90s. And for the people that are judging him, find something better to do. I love him regardless of what the media is reporting.
I absolutely loved Hi-Five!! My first boyfriend reminded me of Tony (which is why I dated him). I hated to hear this. My condolences go out to his family, friends, old band mates, and all of his fans like myself. He was so cute and had such a boy next door feel. Loved growing up to HI-Five. R.I.P.
#1 fan

Nikki, I just heard about Chevy’s death. I will be in shock for a while. She is missed greatly. A very sweet person who was on her own since her mother died. I remember Chevy from Belle Glade, FL. back in 1993. She was an excellent vocalist. At that time she had that trailer in Belle Glade off of SR 715 that she was renting to her cousin and some Jamaican dude. She was living with her grandmother then. I only knew her for a little while. May God bless her children & her family.
