Erasure: Erasure's Andy Bell
built 156 days ago
Erasure's Andy Bell was one of the first pop stars to come out as being gay. And now the singer, perhaps best known as the voice behind the band's 1988 hit "Chains of Love," has become one of the first pop stars to come out as being HIV positive. Bell has known his status since June 1998, when he came down with a case of pneumonia, and was quite happy keeping the news to himself. But when speculation started last winter about his health ? especially surrounding his recent double hip replacement (which wasn't related to the virus, but had required a lot of medical care) ? Bell thought he'd set the record straight and try to erase some of the stigma at the same time.

Erasure's Andy Bell has released clips from his upcoming solo debut including his duet with that big fag Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. Bell was one of the first openly gay popstars paving the way for Mr. Shears' sequined ass and just last year announced that he had contracted HIV.
