Who is the weirdo talking at the end of this video? He needs to be slapped! I lived in Las Vegas during the 70s and had the privilege and pleasure of meeting and knowing Liberace. I was a bartender at the Hilton where he played. We would some times talk late after the shows at a Disco-Bar known as the Brewery on Paradise Road not far from the Hilton International where he played. He was a very nice person and very generous. Yes, he was gay but, so what! I'm straight & I enjoyed him.

I am sure the world will miss that toothy freak -- whathisname?

Liberace had more class, talent, and humanity than most anybody today. There will NEVER be an equal to him. His personal life was just that- personal.

Shame on those who made his passing a media circus. We owe him a great debt for the entertainment he generously shared.

@Moscato51 You "enjoyed" him.

The Bugs Bunny dude actually has the audacity to make fun of someone. Lee was gay but not completly ugly---- a jealous and toothy fuck who seems to find himself funny. Points are made in this piece---but the piece would not exist without Liberace. Karma is hopefully a bitch for that "toothy troth"

@Moscato51 Thank you for sharing your experience of working with and knowing Liberace in person. I have read about him extensively and your sentiments are echoed repeatedly elsewhere, ie, that Liberace was a kind and generous person who brightened the lives of so many people. It is shameful that creatures like the one at the end of this video should be afforded an opportunity to make such silly comments but I guess that is his 12 (I timed it) seconds of fame! He probably has it on DVD.

@jamesojld Well said. Michael Jackson got the same treatment - just in a different way. :)

Yet another piece of vile anti-Americanism from the state broadcaster of Great Britain.

Americans should appreciate that there are those high up in the British establishment who loathe America and Her People for breaking free from the clutches of the Crown and the City of London.

The War of Independence may seem like an eternity ago, but the Crown never forgets nor forgives.

The BBC's attack on the memory of Liberace, one of the great American musicians, is a deliberate slur on America.

Those two idiots in this video who decided to take an amazing artist and take away his whole persona he created should be sued for all they are worth and more. What right do they have? What talent did they possess. Who cares if Liberace was gay. More people are gay than you know and it really doesn't fucking matter. And guess what, STRAIGHT PEOPLE GET AIDS TOO! Ooooooooh god how terrible! People have sex! Gay sex, Bi sex, Straight sex! Get over it!

The doctor should have told the truth about how he died instead of trying to protect his image...same with the family.

Same thing will happen if George Michael dies.
