I haven’t yet heard anyone say, “This one’s for Luther,” but I’m sure someone will, probably in Philadelphia. Luther Vandross’s death was announced in the early hours of this morning, and, within an hour of the announcement, I was quite astonished to hear an American music journalist answer a question quite directly about his sexuality on Five Live. She stated unequivocally that he was gay. I had no idea, although he did have quite plucked eyebrows, which should have given the game away. He apparently lived quite a secretive sex life, which is a shame. It’s amazing what you can get away with saying, moments after someone has died, that you can’t say when they’re alive, isn’t it?
