We originally published this list in 2000. In the years since, many more celebrities, stars, athletes, and movers and shakers have joined the ranks of people with diabetes. Here is an updated list of the more prominent ones.

Musicians


Syd Barrett, of the rock group Pink Floyd

James Brown, The Godfather of Soul

Johnny Cash, legendary country singer, known as “the man in black”

Miles Davis, legendary jazz great

Mama Cass Elliott, singer, Mamas and the Papas

Ella Fitzgerald, jazz vocalist

Jerry Garcia, lead singer of The Grateful Dead

Dizzy Gillespie, jazz trumpeter

Mahalia Jackson, singer

Rick James, singer (“Super Freak”)

Peggy Lee, ’50s songster

Curtis Mayfield, soul singer

Elvis Presley, The King

Luther Vandross, singer

I dunno... but the fact that half of these people are dead is not exactly making me feel warm and fuzzy about diabetes...
