<![CDATA[Ari Gold, 47, Gay Musician, RIP]]>(Sir) Ari Gold has passed away at 47 from leukemia. While he never quite broke out to mainstream radio as a solo performer, Ari had a long stretch of success within the LGBT and dance music scenes.

He sang backing vocals for Diana Ross and Cyndi Lauper, and later had several collaborations with RuPaul.

Curious if anyone here enjoyed his music. And while he wasn't the first, Ari did a lot for queer visibility in the recording industry -- out and loud and proud. RIP.

On a side note, he's not a real "Sir" as he was "knighted" by a "royal drag queen" from the Imperial Court of New York.

Yes, that's why I put the (Sir) in parens. As for the rationale behind his adopting it on social media, on the long-running HBO series Entourage, one of the lead characters, played by actor Jeremy Piven, was also named Ari Gold.

I had no idea who he was until you made this post.
