El Debarge No-Show At Detroit Performance

HSK Exclusive - 105.9 Kiss-FM had a Super Star Of Soul Concert yesterday(November 19th) featuring El Debarge at the Music Hall in Detroit, Michigan – and guess what? El Debarge missed his concert. Know why? Because El Debarge is in a Detroit, crack house getting high mane.

Here’s what an insider had to say:

“People are mad as hell that El didn’t show up. They paid $105.00 to see El Debarge and Loose Ends. They tried to replace El will some Def Comedy Jam comedian name Bill Hill but the people want their money back.”

El Debarge’s management is putting out word that El missed his flight, but guess what? The streets of Detroit are telling the truth.

Here’s the scoop:

“El is telling people that he missed his flight, but we all know he’s out here in Detroit in a crack house.”

Can the people who bought tickets for the Super Star of Soul concert get their money back? Yes, credit cards refunds are available tonight and cash refunds will be made available on Monday.

I think it’s time for El Debarge to check into Celebrity Rehab. Don’t you agree?

“El is telling people that he missed his flight, but we all know he’s out here in Detroit in a crack house.”

That's the first thought that crossed my mind.

I hope to be proven wrong. confused

Sooo....how much time to crackheads spend in a crackhouse? Enough time to miss a flight? Whole days? He doesn´t even remotely look like a crackhead to me.

Believe it or not El has been VERY blessed not just with talent but with his LIFE... He looks amazing even after all his years with drug addiction and his voice is still on point. He needs to get it together. I am so sadden by this spiral turn that is happening with him. He was doing SO good... I just hope he finds some help... its so sad to see him waste so much talent sad

I hope he gets better and that he is okay. Addiction is such a hard thing to overcome.

I'm in the mood for love...simply because your near me.

Poor El sigh That whole family has been through so much. It really is possible to break one's spirit. Well wishes to him and his family and the others struggling to kick that devil drug. Hopefully its not too late and he doesn't die or hurt someone.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Well, if he is showing up at free concerts and not at concerts where people paid a lot of money to see him, I kinda doubt it. lol Although on that radio interview, his voice sounds clear and clean, so maybe he is currently clean. Just hope he can keep it up. He's been blessed as far as health, looks, and voice goes...and he damn well knows it.

Practicing drug addicts in the entertainment industry are often able to pull themselves together long enough to get thru an interview and give the appearance of being clean.

I remember Natalie Cole saying she gave a live interview back in the 80's and the interviewer asked her was she still on drugs? She told him "no" and that she was clean. She later admitted being high during that very interview. lol

Yeah, I saw that on Behind the Music. Natalie did look high during that interview (I think it was 1983 lol). Natalie looking back at it saying she was tore up made me chuckle. lol

How can he fuck up a hometown show where peeps paid over $100 a ticket to see him? Detroiters always root for their own and he let them down....again.

I'm well aware of El's struggle with addiction, but is it remotely possible that dude... simply missed his flight -- or something similarly unsexy? shrug Why jump on some unconfirmed BS?

Meanwhile, I've gone to Google hoping (and at the same time hoping not) to find a more credibly written article on this than the one quoted above. I've come up with nothing. That HSK article is the worst piece of "journalism" I've seen in a long time. Not only do they forgo the source of a particularly incriminating accusation, but they, themselves, articulate that accusation as matter of fact (not as allegation or rumor) in the lede.

It may be time for El to check into Celebrity Rehab, but if "Jackie Jasper" rolleyes doesn't stop letting his lil' play cousins write for that site, he's gonna screw around and end up paying for that drug treatment with payouts from a successful libel suit slapped against him. confused

I'd be PISSED if I spent $100 on someone and they didn't know up. He needs to have his crack to-go next time. lol
