Sadly, a rising British rapper, who went by the stage name Cadet, was killed in a car crash early Saturday on the way to a performance in central England.

Born Blaine Cameron Johnson, he was only 28 years young.

The young musician's management says he was a passenger in a taxi that collided with another vehicle near his performance destination, Keele University.

Staffordshire Police reported that the two-car collision happened at about 1:30 a.m. in the village of Betley, 150 miles northwest of London. The drivers of both vehicles were seriously hurt.

Family and friends mourn his death and thank everybody for the tremendous support via social media. R.I.P. to another talent gone way too soon.
