| Luther Vandross..............smPosted By: A great loss.............sm on 2006-06-27In Reply to: wow, i didn't know that.  I thought - he lost all that weight?
 
 
 Luther Vandross' father and brother both died of diabetes.  He, himself, gained and lost massive amounts of weight at least 15 times in his life.  He had a major stroke at 52 and tried coming back from that for 2 years but, unfortunately, he died on July 1, 2005.
