Known as the first openly gay rock star, Jobriath’s reign was a brief two years. Done in by over-hyped publicity, shunned by the gay community, and dismissed by critics, Jobriath retreated to the Chelsea Hotel, where he died forgotten, one of the earliest casualties of AIDS. But years later, new fans discover his music, and acts such as The Pet Shop Boys, Def Leppard, and Morrissey cite him as an influence. Experience the heartbreaking, unbelievable story of the one, the only, Jobriath.
