And, I don't know, Gil Scott-Heron was HIV positive and he died 2011 from an illness, but I don't know if HIV was contributing to his death.

Hi, maluca! Guten Tag! As you have contributed a lot more to this collection than me, I just gave you collaborator credentials here - honestly, I only added the artist I knew that died from AIDS (and did not do research to find more 🙈 😬 ). Don't hesitate on adding more names as you find them. Regards and thank you for all of your suggestions ;)

Frankie Ruiz didn't die of HIV, he died of a cirrhosis
Don Juan
Fri, 21/07/2023 - 19:42
Well, Wikipedia has no mention of HIV, they only mention he had a liver disease which led him to being hospitalized and dying. I know Wiki is to be taken with a pinch of salt, but they wouldn't (I think) lie in something as serious as the death cause of someone.
maluca

Well, they are not lying if they're ommitting something that has not been officially confirmed. If you google "Frankie Ruiz HIV" you come across pages talking about it. He was an intravenous drug user, not gay, so maybe his family did not confirm his HIV status after his death, but it is a long-standing rumour.

He only did heroin in the early 80's, he was more a consumer of cocaine, alcohol and crack

They weren't all gay or drug addicts.
(#39) Tom Fogerty:
"At some point in the 1980s, Fogerty underwent back surgery, and was given a blood transfusion that was not screened for HIV. This caused him to become infected with the virus and subsequently resulted in his contraction of AIDS alongside his ensuing complications with tuberculosis, all of which eventually led to his death on September 6, 1990"

Thank you for adding Amanda Blake on this list. I'll always remember her as Miss Kitty from the classic western Gunsmoke (I honestly thought she was going to die from something related to her heavy smoking though. I don't know about anybody else but I could definitely hear it on her voice).

I'm not sure if he had a singing career but one person that I can think of that caused quite a stir back in the day about their AIDs/HIV diagnosis is Rock Hudson https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Hudson
That's who I think of when I see this page.
Update: I didn't know that he had a page on here or even sang anything I only knew about his acting career. The more you know 😂
