MTV revealed today it has some un-aired episodes of
2gether, but is waiting to make a
decision about airing them, after the January 13th death of 2gether
member Michael Cuccione, who played Jason "Q.T." McKnight on the
program. A spokesperson for MTV claimed that they had "three to
four episodes of
2Together in the can," but "if we do
continue it, it will be in a way that is respectful to Michael and
his family."
Cuccione died last Saturday in his native Vancouver from lung
failure. The sixteen-year-old actor/singer had fought and beat
Hodgkin's disease, but his chemotherapy treatment for the disease
left his respiratory system weakened.
