Madonna has removed Luther Vandross’s picture from the AIDs tribute portion of her “Celebrations” tour at the request of his estate, Page Six has learned.

 

Throughout her latest tour, the pop star has remembered friends and famous names who lost their lives to the condition with a photo montage during her performance of her 1986 song “Live to Tell.” Herb Ritts, Freddie Mercury, Keith Haring and Sylvester are a few of Madge’s peers featured in the memorial. 

But Vandross’ image was suddenly included on Saturday during a stop in Sacramento, Calif — much to the surprise of his estate.

 

“Luther Vandross passed away in 2005 due to complications from a stroke suffered two years earlier,” a rep for his estate told Page Six in a statement.

Perhaps she knew something that the rest of the world didn't know?

He was closeted when he was alive so maybe his estate wants to keep it that way?

Madonna really said 

[Titanbaddie]

Why would she put him in the Aids tribute??? that's wild

[Sugar-Rush]

Did she and/or her assistants really believe that because he was gay, he must've died from AIDS? What kind of insensitive leap of logic. 

[Dark Phoenix]

Oh that’s not-

[LittleStarmen]

My guess is that they shared some personal story in the 90s but when they added they didnt know he didnt die from it

Even if that were the case and I sincerely doubt it, the respectful thing would have been to keep it for herself tbh.

Still doesn’t make it okay for her to share whatever information she knew with the whole world  

[glitch]

Erm now why did she do that

my 20 yo Twinkies stick to fighting about Xtinas flops - Madonna didn't chose the legends, the AIDS Memorial did. And they know stuff.
