Interview with legendary producer and television personality David Gest

In April 2016 we sadly lost legendary producer and television personality David Gest. Lynn Briggs met and interviewed David at The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne just a few days before he was found dead of natural causes in his London hotel room 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.
