Did Luther Vandross have Aids?

Answer 1

No, luckily for Luther Vandross, he did not have AIDS or contract the HIV virus. In his teenage years, Luther had a weight problem where he would gain up to 300 pounds and then diet furiously, becoming so slim sometimes that many wondered whether he had AIDS or another disease. Speculation that he was gay followed for years as well, rumors which he quickly renounced, yet rumors that also fueled public belief that he might have AIDS, becaus AIDS was rampant among the homosexual comunity at that time.

"These are crazy rumors," he told the Chicago Tribune in 2001, addressing questions about his weight, illnesses and sexuality. "And you know what, 20 years later when all those people who started the rumors are sick and in wheelchairs and I'm hopping on to the stage with full energy, that will tell the story. I'm in better health and shape now than I've ever been."

Hope that helps!! And remember to use protection ☃☤

Answer 4

No Luther Vandross didnt have Aids. Where is all this false information coming from. Luther Vandross died of complications from a stroke which he never fully recovered from. He also suffered from high-blood pressure. His weight surged up and down most of his life. He battle weight problems most of his life and high-blood pressure.

Answer 5

I think a lot of individuals believed he was gay (homosexual) and lived that type of lifestyle. Also, I think many people thought he was straight (Heterosexual), and definitely not gay. This is a very debatable subject but ultimately NO one truly knows for sure but Luther Vandross (himself).

As far as his health was concerned, Luther struggled with hypertension and Diabetes throughout his life and career. He also had drastic weight fluctuations, which did not help the HIV/AIDS rumor. However, in April 16, 2003 he suffered a stroke but was also dealing with viral meningitis and pneumonia. As far as him having HIV/AIDS who truly knows but I can tell you factually, that PNEUMONIA is common Occurrence in AIDS related deaths.

He was a great artist, who blessed us with incredible music and wiill definitely be missed. Gay or Straight I definitely love Luther Ronzoni Vandross, Jr.

Why should it matter what he died from? Luther Vandross suffered a massive stroke April 2003 and had lain with the effects of it undiscovered for 8 hours. He had lost his ability to walk, to speak etc. Complicating matters, he was diabetic and hypertensive. When he made an appearance on the Oprah Show months before his death, he had severely slurred speech ( worse than Dick Clark's) Debilitating strokes also have the effect of making the person severely depressed. Stroke victim's bodies react differently BUT the one thing I had seen with a few of the people that I knew who suffered from catastrophic strokes was that prior to their deaths, they lost a dramatic amount of weight due to not wanting to eat and the body slowly cannibalizing itself to keep functioning until organs shut down and death occurs

Answer 7

Why do people always think the other way round. Did you test his blood that most of you are concluding like that. What you should know is that even when some one has Diabetes, Liver complications, Cancer to mention but a few they usually look like AIDS Patients. So stop yo funny conclusions.

He didn't die from AIDS but he had a very feminine look so there were rumors about him being gay. I can see why you would ask that question.
