If he could turn back time, London’s Thomas Kirby would bring back what he calls the glamour of drag.
And if he could find a way, he would be showcasing that glamour with his very own tribute show to Cher, a virtual recreation of her farewell tour.
But he’s going to have to believe in a lot more than life after love in order to make his dream come true now that Warner Music Canada and Cher’s management have turned down his requests to use the icon’s music and video footage.
Cher’s people revealed their hearts of stone even after Kirby, 39, and partner Jeffrey Taylor, 48, offered to donate part of the proceeds to the Children’s Craniofacial Association, a pet project of Cher’s.
“They didn’t give a crap about anything whatsoever,” says Taylor. “They just basically said no.”
