Whoa, him too?

'Meanwhile, long-closeted crooner Johnny Mathis is speaking frankly about his heartache.

"I've been a romantic all my life, but as for having tangible relationships, I've never had that," he tells Britain's Daily Express. "I get a little alone at times."

Mathis says that after word spread that he was gay, he became a target for homophobic bigots.

"I've had a few death threats from the Southern states," he says. "So 20 years ago, I decided to perform without publicizing the concerts with interviews. I'd had enough exposure and was concerned about what came with it."'

Wotta week with all the celeb news from people who were famous in the late 70's and early 80's. What the hell did Mathis sing? I keep confusing him with Aaron Neville. Note: I only know Aaron Neville because in high school, sophomore year, that tune he sang with Linda Rondstat [look! there's another one] was on the radio and always came on in the pool area during my swimming class.
