    ATL Celebs Hit Up ‘Reunion Concert’ w/Ron Isley, El Debarge & More… [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

    My favorite real Atlanta “Housewife Attorney Phaedra Parks and her handsome hubby Apollo Nida were spotted taking in the Ronald Isley / El DeBarge Reunion concert last weekend at Atlanta’s Chastain Park.

    Brothers El & Chico DeBarge were spotted looking happy and healthy.

    As you know, El, who has battled a long history of drug addiction, abruptly canceled a much anticipated come-back tour earlier this year to return to rehab but now he’s back clean & sober.

    Hopefully he’ll give fans more of what was promised in his “Second Chance” release.

    Other celebs spotted taking in the old school reunion concert were Ludacris (with his boo Eudoxie), Jasmine Guy, Kandi Burruss, Carl Thomas, Andrea Kelly, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and more.

    The event was held in conjunction with Ludacris’ LudaDay Weekend festivities but was obviously catered to the grown & sexy crowd.

    El Debarge Cancels Comeback Tour & Heads to Rehab…

    Feb, 15 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Singer El DeBarge has canceled his long-awaited comeback tour just days before it was to begin and immediately entered a rehab program for substance abuse problems.

    The 49-year-old R&B star has been on the comeback trail the past few months, releasing his fan favorite, “Second Chance” (his first album in 16 years) last November.

    [WATCH: “Second Chance” ~ El Debarge ~ VIDEO]

    El started his comeback with a performance at the 2010 Essence Festival, followed by a show-stopping performance at last year’s BET Awards. He also scored two Grammy nominations?for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song.

    Debarge was scheduled to perform on “The Intimacy Tour” alongside Grammy-nominated singer KEM, he also had secured a gig as the opening act for Mary J. Blige and planned to tour extensively on his own in 2011.

    Now those tours… and his comeback, are on an “indefinite” hold.

    Debarge has been open about his struggles with drug abuse – particularly crack and heroin and had even been featured in StraightFromTheA.com’s mugshot mania collection prior to cleaning up his act.

    [READ: MUGSHOT MANIA: El “Long Hair Don’t Care” Debarge + Flashback Footage]

    In a press release, Debarge states,

    I hate to disappoint my fans but it is necessary for me to take the time to work on me so that I may continue to share my music and my story with everyone.

    I thank everyone in advance for their prayers and well wishes and hope that you will respect my privacy during this time.

    I’m praying for El and hopes he gets it all back on track soon.

    El DeBarge Gets a “Second Chance” ~ [VIDEO]

    [READ: Mugshot Mania: El “Long Hair Don’t Care” DeBarge]

    Now the 49 year old singer has cleaned up his act and is hot on the comeback trail… asking fans for forgiveness and a second chance in his first single appropriately titled… “Second Chance.”

    According to DeBarge, both the song and the album are a celebration of his return to R&B and the opportunity to make music again.

    “I believe that this album is a testament and in the future will be commemorative of my second chance. My second chance is even being able to do this album,” he said.

    “The video for ‘Second Chance’ is just me at the piano and it took place in downtown Los Angeles, where we were around people who we felt were looking for a second chance. The world as a whole is looking for a second chance and we tried to put that feeling into the video.”

    Mugshot Mania ~ El “Long Hair Don’t Care” DeBarge + Flashback Footage

    Oct, 30 2008 | Written by ATLien

    El DeBarge (born Eldra Patrick DeBarge), former lead singer of the family singing group DeBarge who had mild success as a solo act, was sentenced Wednesday (October 28th)?to serve 2 years on a cocaine possession charge. ?The Los Angeles Judge had little sympathy for the 47 year old former star, who?was still on probation for a 2001 cocaine bust, not to mention a series of warrants over the past year for domestic violence, vandalism and drugs, and gave his the stiffest penalty possible.

    According to the district attorney’s office, DeBarge also has a second case pending, for violating his probation in 2006 with another drug bust. A hearing in that matter is set for November 10th.?DeBarge was picked up by authorities over the weekend on outstanding warrants.

    Too bad…so sad. ?I guess good hair can go wrong as is evident in El’s mugshot photo. ?There is a 2nd undated mugshot under the cut showing El with short hair and a wide-eyed blank stare. ?A look that he’ll also be giving his future husband cell-mate. ?SMH…He’s way to pretty for prison.

    Also peep some flashback footage of his group vs. solo career under the cut: Continue Reading…
