Young and Rubicam New York produced three "duo" spots for Dr Pepper to run in 2003. Here's what happened...
Spot#1 - LL Cool J and Run DMC. On Oct 30, 2002, Run DMC's Jason Mizell (Jam Master J) was shot and killed before the commercial went to air. For the first few weeks of broadcast in 2003, it ended with a tribute to the fallen DJ. His murder remains unsolved.
Spot#2 - Cyndi Lauper and Anastacia. Anastacia was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (a type of breast cancer) in January, and underwent a seven hour surgical procedure on February 10. She's been given the all-clear, but as of a month ago was still facing radiotherapy. We at Adland wish her the best.
Spot#3 - Paulina Rubio and Celia Cruz. On July 16, Queen of Salsa Celia Cruz passed away after struggling with a brain tumor. She was given a grand farewell in Manhatten last week.
