I just heard this as well but I was hoping it was a rumor.

I am utterly shocked.
I knew he was unhealthy and it's sad when a father outlives his son.
I just saw his daughter's Sweet 16 episode the other day and thought "I wonder what Gerald Levert has been up to."

I am so hurt. They are playing his music on V-103 in Atlanta. What's even sadder is he was scheduled to perform at "Wanda Smith and Friends" next Saturday, and Wanda Smith is one of his biggest fans. He had plenty of fans, including myself.
I've only heard this from one unofficial source, but he was trying to lose weight on a reality show with some of his female fans.
May he rest in peace, and my prayers are with the family, friends, and fans.

When stuff like this happens, deep down inside I'm waiting for the media to say there was a mixup or this is a hoax.

I heard about it about 20 minutes ago. I called our local radio station to confirm. I'm thinking it's an internet rumor. She said that they got the word from his record company. Unfortunately, it's no hoax or mixup.
I am too  .
I saw him in Vegas with Luther, Angie Stone and Michelle Williams. He really put on a show. I saw him again at Essence. A great entertainer.
A sudden loss. My sympathy to the familly.
Yesterday it was Ed Bradley, now Gerald. Please, no one else.

Actor Jack Palance died. Maybe that will be the third and last one for awhile.
I just read on another board that Gerald died in his sleep. I hope this was the case and he went peacefully.
