Former child pop star Aaron Carter, who is set to debut in Naked Boys Singing this fall, was shown outside the stage. The show’s producers have announced their replacements: David Hernandez of American Idol and Chris Salvatore of Eating Out.
Press for Naked Boys Singing – the all-male, all-nude music revue – originally announced that Carter would be directing the show when it reopens in Las Vegas in September. Now comes word that the producers fired Carter from the show, allegedly because the singer refuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Both openly gay Salvatore and Hernandez will be in the spotlight when the show resumes on September 15.
