By Lynn Briggs

In April 2016 we sadly lost David Gest. Lynn Briggs met and interviewed David just a few days before he died aged just 62, making this interview one of the last he gave.

As a Producer, Publicist. Agent and Entertainer, David Gest worked with many of the greats from the world of entertainment. During the interview he reveals insights and outrageous stories of his many friends including his lifelong friend Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, who was like a sister to him, and how Ray Charles came to his home and ate fried chicken!

To mark the anniversary of his death, we played that interview on Drivetime.
