Where Are They Now? Legendary Freddy Jackson [Photos+Videos]

Frederick Anthony "Freddie" Jackson (born October 2, 1956) is an American soul singer. Among his well-known hits are "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)", "Have You Ever Loved Somebody", "Jam Tonight", "Do Me Again" and "You Are My Lady".
If you haven’t seen 1980’s R& B singer Freddy Jackson in awhile, here’s a good picture of what he’s looking like these days. I guess he’s out the closet now.




Fans of legendary R&B singer Freddie Jackson know that for years, his personal life, health and especially his sexuality have been a constant source of rumors and speculation. So much so that in recent years, Freddie stayed out of the public spotlight for a while, only to resurface looking drastically slimmer.

Jackson, 60, has dropped a significant amount of weight over the years, and naturally, this caused many of his loyalists to be concerned about his health. Almost immediately, many fans attributed his dramatic weight loss to HIV/AIDS and/or cancer.

The once plump crooner reportedly dropped 107 pounds, and in a 2015 interview with WBLS, Freddie addressed the rumors to shut down the talk about his health.

So why did he lose so much weight?



According to Jackson, he lost 107 pounds because he was concerned about his health after getting a weight-related health scare from his doctor some years ago, ILOSM reports.

He also said that as he aged, he realized that he needed to take better control of his health. So he started making better food choices and living a healthier lifestyle, which ultimately allowed him to lose weight and keep it off.
