Adam Lambert 24/7 News

This is so sad. Rest in peace dear glambert. Although I never met Gale Chester Whittington his name will forever be familiar to me. You will be missed so much by this fansite, your family. Love, nancdruuu2

I feel sick to my stomach just the other day someone I am on twitter with was saying she was worried about him and I was sort of worried myself after that. A few weeks ago I sent him a follow friday and told him every now and then I like to send a #FF to the people who work tirelessly for Adam and he sent me a nice Email back. What a shock.RIP he will be writing in heaven now.

I have heard of him. I think he is one of the most dedicated fans in the world. Love his Twitter too.

I hope he rest in peace.

I hope Adam would tweet about this.

I posted this link about Gale on the previous thread which tells us so much more about him. Not only was he a true and dedicated Adam Lambert fan, but a gay rights pioneer...and author. He will be missed...

I didn't recognize this name, but when I say the picture I knew who he was. He did great interviews with Adam. I thought he worked for a radio station. So sad to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with the people that knew him.

So sad that he had no family. I think it is wonderful that so many strangers embraced him. We all need love and it can come from the strangest of places sometimes. AL will most likely feel the loss.

I always thought what a beautiful name for a man, Gale Chester... Remember seeing his name throughout these 'Adam years' and often thought what a wonderful thing to have him in the Glamily...Saddened by these news.

I always though Gale was a woman having never met him,but I read a lot of post from him. /A true Glambert. I am so sorry that he has passed,but his spirit and love for all thingsAdam will carry on.

OMG! I was always looking forward to him providing us with most up to date news on Adam. He was the kind fan who uploaded on SoundCloud all the 'Adam Lambert Hours' on the FLEAFM in New Zealand and most recently on a UK radio station. I did not know him, but in a sense I did :) so love him. RIP Gale. You ARE already in a great place.

I really hope that Adam will tweet about this amazing person and pioneer for human rights!

I heard about this on Twitter earlier this morning....what a shock. RIP Gale. Although I didn't know you personally, I admired your devotion to Adam and Glamberts around the world. I will miss you very much. Peace.

I didn't know him except through Adam, I feel like I have lost a friend.

OMG I'm pretty sure he had a page in the wonderful Aura magazine. Got to go look now. RIP- so sad

I was always impressed with the dedication and the amount of work that this man gave Adam and his fanhood; his distinctive and regal name could not be missed. Though I imagined him to be a woman until I saw his picture, his eyes spoke to me as one who above everything else that is a fan empathized with Adam. Now I understand better his perspective; he traveled the same road with his gay brothers and sisters. Ironic that we do not know much of one another till we're gone, and even though I know of this wonderful man only posthumously, I am thankful for sharing with him his passion, however so remotely in cyberspace, as he contributed so much to this fandom experience. He is in heaven now, RIP Gale Chester Whittington. I would like to think his spirit is continuing with us on our path with Adam, as he had always done. atm

From Adam just now on twitter:

Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

RIP Gale Chester & we thank you for the love, excitment & laughter you brought to this site.
You will be missed:(

RIP Gale Chester, Thank you for everything, it's a big loss in our fandom world. He has family. We are his family. I am so sadden like everyone here.

nice article by Renee Synder at examiner.com . A small sad comment by Lambertlust his buddy.

Rest in Peace Gale Whittington, you will be missed. Thank you for your dedication to Adam Lambert and his fans. So sad you didn't have any family.

Liam McEwan (New Zealand TheFlea fm) will dedicate the next "Adam Lambert Hour" -- Sunday morning, New Zealand time) to one of Adam's most incredible fans and also a pioneer of human rights, Gale Chester Whittington. When people say that social media is bad, it surely can bring a lot of people together in a great way as well. I'll be tuning in Liam (Liam now has over 100,000 followers on twitter). When I started listening to his Adam Lambert Hour, he only had over 1,000!

And some of the first ones to follow Liam were from this blog.. He posted a thank you to us here...

1:36 nice of Liam to do that, he is mature beyond his 17 years. I am one of the 100,000 that follow him.

I am so sad to hear about this. Gale has been a huge part if not the biggest part of passing on and keeping track of all the links to every fan video, interview, photo etc of Adam that exists. He was tireless, working well into nights as I witnessed time and time again especially as fan concert footage was being uploaded to youtube. He was there within moments tweeting out the links including my own videos along with so many others coming through seemingly all at once. I always thanked him and as busy as he was always, always responded with a warm reply regardless of how busy he was. I often wondered who this man was and what his story was. His passion didn't go unnoticed, that's for sure. I found out about his death in the tweet from Adam this morning. Gale is smiling up there now I bet, knowing now that Adam saw what a devoted fan he was and how much he appreciated his devotion. May you rest in peace Gale. Keep up the great work up there;) Now you can be with your loved ones.

I will surely miss Gale ... Gale was my 'go-to' guy for all things ADAM when all else failed! So sad to hear there are no services planned. I will say a prayer for Gale & ask GOD to watch over him for us. Good-bye fellow Glambert .. RIP .. Love 'n Light

I checked in dailybtobread Galws blogs. If I commented he always replied I often told him how much his efforts were appreciated. I haven't read his books as they stir very bad memories for me as his writings are so vivid. rIP Gale you indeed did light the way!

RIP Gale!!

I feel sooo sad hearing this news. I followed Gale on twitter and he was such a devoted Glambert. I haven't lost anyone actually close to me, but this loss hurts so bad. Though I didn't know him personally i did tweet with him and feel like I've lost a family member. So hard to believe he is gone. Alwys let people know they are appreciated. I now wish I had:((. Took him for granted like I do so many other lovely Glamberts. I love my Gamily so much!!......LB

RIP Gale Whittington.
Yea I listened to a few of his interviews with Adam and I recall commenting here to the effect they were clear, relevant and interesting. His audio interviews were pretty long but always held my attention right through. This good man must be happy and peaceful now in the presence of God.

Lam-my

I always read his article and he was a truly amazing dedicated fan indeed!!:(

R.I.P. GALE.....

Sad news. RIP Gale, you will be missed.

So sad to know this man who admired Adam so much is no longer here to share his journey. I have come to know his dear, familiar face through this site and must hold on to thoughts that he continues to hear Adam's beautiful voice from above....R.I.P. Gale Chester

A prayer for the eternal rest of GaleChester! Thanks for your love and defense of neighbor! That shine for you, the perpetual light! HH

RIP Gale Chester.

He will be missed. He was absolutely of major importance to our fandom. He was thoughtful, generous and kind. He replied to me when others don't. Gale worked so hard to promote and support Adam. He kept is all informed and I am very sad to hear of his passing. RIP dear man.

Wasn't it nice that in his last years Adam came along and following his career gave Gale a new interest to be enthusiastic about. I know I have enjoyed "getting to know"
Adam. And I appreciate Gale's sharing his interest with us.
I wish I had known about him and his early activism in the gay rights movement before now......it's kind of amazing, and very heartwarming to see that we as a community can
feel sorrow at losing one of us that we only knew thru this site.........JAK

Such sad news to wake up to this morning.
Gale could always be relied upon for fast up to date news and soundclouds of Adam news.

Energymusicuk is also dedicating their next Adam Lambert hour on Monday to Gale.

RIP Gale x

Minus one Glambert.
I pray for your soul, Gale, and I know where you are now, you will be watching over our Adam and praying for him. RIP.

Such a sad loss made even sadder because he has no family. Such a wonderful supporter of Adam, he will be greatly missed.

What a sad day to hear this news of the passing of a very dear Glambert. I often visited his sites and appreciated them. I'm so sorry to hear that he had no immediate family, but he did have the huge Glambert family. It would be nice if we all could do something in his memory, especially with no family. He was a loyal supporter of Adam and I'm glad that Adam knew of him and sent a tweet, as well as Ahley and Tommy Jo.
