He looked very very bad too. I remember watching him on one of those shows on VH1 around spring 2003. He was working as a stripper/dancer in Europe or something. They showed him walking the streets of the city posting flyers for his show. He was saying how when he was growing up, everybody thought he had a nice ass and how they could see him naked for a fee at one of these seedy gigs he was performing at. He looked very thin and sick. He looked like a junkie. I was so sad to see that. I couldnt stop thinking about it for a week. God rest his soul.


nod I think that was a Where Are They Now Special Fame. It was pretty sad. Gene was definitely a hell of a dancer. I used to love watching him on Fame. Him and Debbie Allen definitely were influential on me as a dancer growing up b/c I loved their dance style. It's a shame that he let his appetite for sex drugs drag him down. R.I.P. GENE


I also noticed that he had some white stuff either around his nose or his mouth and plus he looked homeless like he was living on the streets. His clothes looked shabby. He just looked terrible.
