LOS ANGELES - Krayzie Bone, a rapper in the hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, is reportedly fighting for his life in a hospital.
The news was confirmed by TMZ from sources who said that Krayzie was going into a second surgery soon in the hopes of stopping internal bleeding, reportedly stemming from a diagnosis of sarcoidosis, which causes inflammatory cells to form in different parts of the body.
