ONTD

Last night Figure 9 were doing a show in San Diego, Krishna painfully sung during the whole show until the end of Dark Horse / Hotline Bling and then had to stop the show because he pulled a muscle in his back (since the beginning apparently) and was in too much pain. So the crowd didn't get to hear the Desire + King.

They'll be in Los Angeles on Monday, let's hope he'll be ok by then!

He tweeted this :






I was there and it was such a struggle for him, it was hard to watch. Hope you'll feel better soon Krishna. :-(

EDIT: Apparently he was also dehydrated and had to get fluids, my poor bb :-( :-( :-(

For those of you who don't know Krishna Deshpande is a delicate British waif who cries when someone breathes wrong in his direction and Jay Lussier is a hybrid actor/DJ who probably appeared on this earth fully formed because he's too pretentious for the birth process. Somehow, against all odds, they found each other.

Of "note":

- For those of you who can't even stomach couples holding hands, stop reading right now.

- For those of you who are super into dogging, continue reading. You're welcome.

- They were kicking around on Friday, which was when Figure 9 had their set. It was a pretty early set, which gave Krishna and Jay plenty of time to roll around (literally, figuratively, elaborately) for the rest of the day/night.

- Seriously, it was FULL. ON. Even when they weren't sticking their tongues down each other's throats, there were hands in back pockets. How Jay even fit his hand into Krishna's skinny jeans pockets, I don't know. Someone should probably do a physics dissertation on it. I'd read that.

- Listen, I've been a fan of Jay's for a long time now, both for his music and for his acting, and I don't think he's smiled this much in the span of twenty-four hours in his entire life, including when he was (allegedly) a baby. Krishna might be magic. Just kidding, it was a PSA for the healing power of drugs.

- I have a forty-three second video of them that might actually be NSFW depending on where you work. They were definitely rolling. Hit me up if you're interested and if I'm feeling generous I might share. It involves sunscreen, shirts coming off, and a seriously disgusting level of saccharine affection - i.e. it’s like the forty-three seconds leading up to dicks being whipped out in a gay porno that was written/directed for women on the internet by women on the internet.

- They were cockblocked by actress Spencer Seale (what a shock she's a Coachella ho) and some terrifying, tall man who looked like Jay's alien kin.

- Sorry, the only substance that winds up on Krishna's face in my video is glitter. I took some pictures for you voyeurs to make up for it.

The source is me. I'm the source of everything. But I also have more receipts - sources: one & two.

Here's a list of the men Krishna has been spotted with VERY suspiciously in the past few months:

1. James Fornarola - traipsing through NYC together. James Fornarola, who doesn't associate with humans or other non-felines who aren't JK Simmons unless he's getting paid to. PERSONALLY THIS IS MY #1 FANTASY TEAM EVEN THOUGH I'M SANE ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT'S PROBABLY NOT REAL. LIKE IN WHAT WORLD. But maybe it is, though...

2. Nico Sykes - JEWELRY SHOPPING TOGETHER. I repeat, they were legitimately looking at jewelry together, and Krishna was staring at Nico like the sun was shining out of his ass. Nico and Krishna go way back. Clearly, Nico is well acquainted with the fact that Krishna needs that rock. (Yeah, I didn't make a typo: I meant to say rock.)

3. Leander Silvers (of Proenza Schouler) - having a meal with Lee's son!!! I don't know if anyone's aware, but the child-boyfriend meeting is pretty much a sign that you're ready to marry someone. Plus, let's be real, Krishna is such a sugar baby. All he wants is to get with some older guy who will completely 50 Shades of Grey him.

4. James Lussier - probably steamy vacay in the Canaries. He was ALL over Krishna's Instagram for a while around that time, and sure, that doesn't REALLY mean anything because everyone Krishna sees for more than two seconds winds up all over his social media, but maybe...

5. Alex Milligan - piggyback rides in Barcelona. Sure, Ione was there, but you didn't see Alex carrying HER around, did you? I DIDN'T THINK SO. Plus, then there were MORE piggyback rides at Coachella and a cryptic tweet from Alex about him and Krishna planning some kind of trip together. YOU TELL ME THERE ISN'T FLIRTING GOING ON.

6. Matt DeWolfe - breakfast in Brooklyn. B R E A K F A S T. Implying that they spent the night together and then were mega dorks who decided to go to A FUCKING CEREAL BAR THE MORNING AFTER. And Krishna has been all over Matt's Instagram with some VERY adorable commentary from Matt about it. I don't really ship them, but damn, that's making me come very close to it...

7. King Che - okay, hear me out, it would make SO much sense for Che to be deeply in the closet. And someone (ME) saw Krishna putting his digits in Che's phone. *wedding bells* If this is a thing thank fucking god because look at how white the rest of this list is please.

8. Lievsay - does this count if it's an actual thing that fizzled out? For the record I thought they would have been so fucking sweet together, but I guess sometimes people just aren't ready for true love.

9. Wylie Lawson - also a confirmed thing that not so much fizzled out as EXPLODED. But still. Worth mentioning.

10. Emre Turkmen - YOU MIGHT THINK THIS ONE DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE THEY'RE BAND MATES, BUT THEY ARE ALL OVER EACH OTHER 24/7, MY MONEY'S ON THEM BEING THE REAL DEAL. THEY ARE THE DARK HORSE OF THIS REALITY SHOW. WHEN YOU LEAST SUSPECT IT KRISHNA'S GOING TO MAKE OUT WITH HIM ON STAGE AND ANNOUNCE THEIR FUCKING CUTENESS TO THE WHOLE WORLD AND THE AUDIENCE WILL FUCKING LOSE IT. If you haven't gathered, I think it's fucking stupid that these two haven't figured out they should be taking their friendship to the next level.

- Acknowledges that times have changed and that there is an overall acceptance of LGBT people in most Western societies now.

- He wishes however that there were more out gay musicians (especially American) like Krishna Deshpande from Figure 9 who aren't afraid to use male pronouns in their music and fully embrace their LGBT identity. Notes that audiences are here and supportive for gay acts but the music industry is much more unsure/conservative and often the big decision makers shy away from male pronouns and full acceptance.

'Figure 9' decided to take time out of their very busy schedule, to stop by the Alan Carr Show and promote their latest single, 'Desire.' The song is very reminiscent of early '90's gay-club-type anthems, but with that 'Figure 9' "flair" and "sound" that made us fall in love with them in the first place. Although not in my personal top 5 from the album, 'Communion,' it could easily land at number 6. Krishna Deshpande, the lead vocalist and writer, remains as cute and precious as always. Never change, Krishna!

The official video was also released early last month and features Ultra Violet.

I can't tell you how late to the 'Figure 9' party I was, but it is better late than never! Gotta thank this place, and especially zanrararara for the post that made it all happen. Also, Mister Krishna reminds me of someone I dated ages ago, but in the best way possible. He is an upgraded version x 754 <3
