A lot of artist have issues with their opening acts. Like cutting off their power purposely while their performing, This goes way back to The Supremes! No headliner wants to be outperformed by their opening act! Its just that Luther's opening acts decided to air him out .

I think we have a right to know and share his faults along with his strengths. Luther was a human being and like me, was imperfect. Nothing wrong with stating facts.

Luther Ronzoni Vandross was a hot ass mess...but still one of the greatest singers to ever do it. Among Boy George and Elton John, he's another guy that you can safely call a "DIVA".

Think he had enough of dealing with the mood swings????

That was not his lover! His drummer was married to a woman......

Maybe I was thinking of Boy George.

Luther never talked about his Love interest(s) on Camera and his closest friends in the bizness never aired his personal business. Those that discussed his Love-life after his death were NEVER his true friends.

Maybe so...But like someone said Luther never discussed his love life. Besides saying he "never been in love before". Which shocked me! Since he wrote some of the best love songs, that would even make Prince jealous! You know Prince wrote his classic ballad "Adore" based on listening to Luther...

Yeah. And we all know men who are married to women NEVER have male lovers. LOL!

I will never forgive Luther for that tour. I was living down south at the time(around late 93 or early 94 and bought tickets. I love Luther, but I really wanted to see En Vogue. He fired them two cities before he got to me because after they performed half the audience would leave(thoroughly entertained) and the rest wouldn't respond to him as heartily as he wanted because they were sated. Talk about a fucking drama queen. Writing about it now gets me pissed.

No headliner wants to be upstaged by their opening act..Can you blame him? Plus you shouldn't talk negative about the deceased. Its bad karma...

You're the one that brought Luther up in the first place.
