Ist neu für mich, fänd ich aber nicht komplett überraschend.
Jazz Notes : Manager Denies Miles Davis AIDS Report; Instruments Donated to Locke High School
February 22, 1989 | ZAN STEWARTContrary to a story which appeared in the Feb. 21 issue of the supermarket tabloid, the Star, trumpeter Miles Davis does not have AIDS, said Davis‘ manager, Peter Shukat, on Tuesday. „It’s totally unfounded, totally untrue,“ Shukat said of the Star story. Shukat, who issued a press release denying the story, said the 62-year-old Davis had recently been in the hospital, battling a mild case of pneumonia and having a benign polyp removed from his vocal cords. „He’s now resting comfortably at his Southland home,“ Shukat said, „and is in excellent shape for a man his age.“ Davis is expected to begin his 1989 world tour April.

Sonst ist auf die Schnelle nicht viel zu finden… Cicely hätte das Gerücht in Umlauf gebracht (answers.com), Szwed repetiere bloss die üblichen Gerüchte (amazon.com review)…
