After the band Lucrate Milk disbanded, Helno, who was born Noël Rota, went on to become the singer of another band called Les Negresses Vertes. Unfortunately, Helno struggled with a heroin addiction, which eventually led to his untimely death in 1993 at the age of 29. His post-Lucrate Milk career and personal struggles were marked by his musical talent as well as his battles with substance abuse, which sadly ended his life.
