Vixen Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Reality TV star David Gest, the former husband of Liza Minnelli, has died in a London hotel aged 62. The former Celebrity Big Brother star was married to Minnelli from 2002-2003, but they only officially divorced in 2007. He was also known for being a close friend of the late Michael Jackson. The TV personality gained a following in the United Kingdom recently when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. Friend Imad Handi said: "It is with great sadness that I can confirm that David Gest has died today. "David was truly larger than life. He was not just a huge talent and a dear friend but a showbiz icon. "I know he will be missed by millions of fans around the world, and particularly in Britain, who came to love his charm and blistering one-liners. "If I may steal the words of one eminent critic, David was a natural star and a genuine celebrity. I will miss him desperately." A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called at 10.17 on Tuesday 12 April to the Four Seasons hotel, in Westferry Circus, E14, to reports of an unexplained death of a man in his 60s. London Ambulance Service were called to the scene. Life was pronounced extinct at the hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2905 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Strange looking guy but from what i've seen of him on a couple of reality shows he seemed a nice enough person. Shame, 62 is a young age to die nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
