Ari Gold, the trailblazing LGBTQ artist who sang backing vocals for Diana Ross and Cyndi Lauper, has died of leukemia, World of Wonder Productions confirmed to Variety. He was 47.
World of Wonder, the production company behind “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” worked closely with Gold on his collaborations with RuPaul. “Ari was a queer trailblazer whose fierce independence and kind soul were an inspiration for many,” World of Wonder co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey said in a statement to Variety.
“Until we meet again, dear friend,” RuPaul wrote on his Twitter page, sharing a series of tweets dedicated to Gold. He also shared he had spoken with Gold just days before his death, writing “Spoke with @SirAriGoldthis morning. He said “isn’t God amazing, Ru?” I said yes, absolutely.”
The two were close, and Gold had mentioned Ru during his podcast series, “A Kiki from the Cancer Ward.”
