Was Leo Sayer a little person?

And why did he dress up like a 🤔 in concert sometimes?

He did Celebrity Big Brother in the UK to raise his profile and was such a cunt to everyone that he decided to break out of the CBB house rather than get voted off and booed by the crowd.

It pretty much wrecked his (non-existent) Career in the UK.

Maybe he identified - and he was quite ordinary looking, so he took on a disguise.

R5 - what R6 said.

He was truly insufferable on CBB.

This is the first one I've seen.

So he's becoming a DL obsession? That's funny.

I always pondered this question, OP. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for recognizing and VALIDATING all Leo Slayer's fans' concerns.

Being a little person is no joke and Slayer and his fanbase have been carrying this burden for far too long. We ALWAYS have to remember that there is NO correct or right time to divulge our Leo Slayer fandom.

Thank you, OP, for being an ally. But always remember, to NOT co-op our issues AS YOUR OWN if you're NOT a Leo Slayer fan and DO NOT invade spaces dedicated to Slayer and his fanbase unless YOU'RE FULLY EDUCATED.

I have a summer reading list if you're interested on said education.

There was another Brit singer of the era who also wore a costume to get noticed. Kinda creepy, but it worked.

Leo's ball sack is CLEARLY visible on this album cover. No wonder why there was a kerfuffle when it was released.

Look at him, he's having fun!

He looks SO tall in that pic too.

So, he had three big hits (More Than I Can Say, When I Need You, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing) and one smaller hit (Long Tall Glasses). Was that it, or did he do anything else?

I used to live near Leo when I lived in Sydney. I ran into him at Broadway Shopping Centre as he was coming out of Kmart. I noticed his hair first and thought he was familiar then I realized it was Leo. He was also quite short.

by Anonymousreply 48July 12, 2021 2:56 AM

In that clip at r6 another guy offers to give Leo underwear but I would think Leo would wear a lot smaller size than him.

Here's Leo Sayer's 1976 album, Endless Flight. It features "When I Need You," "Endless Flight," and "You Make Me Feel like Dancing," the song playing at the 162 Spring Street bar where Erica hooks up with Charlie in An Unmarried Woman.

I love the entire album. I think I've had it in every configuration.

Leo is not 5'4", probably closer to 5'. Here he is with poor Linda Ronstadt who is 5'1" at best and wearing heels and she towers over him.
