Adult Film Star And Singer Colton Ford Dead At 62

I have some sad news coming from the world of adult entertainment. According to Chi Chi LaRue, adult film icon and singer Colton Ford, who's real name was Glenn Soukesian has passed away. He was 62.

Here's what the famed adult filmmaker, DJ, and drag queen posted on her Facebook page:

Im So

Shocked and Saddened to

Hear and Report the sudden passing of my friend and Icon Glen aka Colton Ford!

You will missed!

Keep Singing In Heaven!

😢😢😢

Fellow adult entertainment industry star Dallas Steele took to Twitter to pay tribute to Ford, writing, “It is with great sadness, I share word of the passing of my friend Glenn, who you may have known as pornstar and singer Colton Ford. Few details have been shared, but sources say he died from an accident on a hiking trail in Palm Springs.

“I met Glenn when he first moved to Palm Springs a few years ago. Though he “retired” from shooting commercial studio porn, I asked him to do an Only Fans with me, and he agreed. We had a wonderful, hot, and meaningful experience together. He was a very deep, caring, thoughtful person. In 2022, Glenn performed at several of our charity pool parties. The crowd loved his vocals, engaging energy and sex appeal.

“In 2023, Glenn asked if I’d appear with him in a series of mid-century modern style gay erotic photos with him and a man way younger than both of us. It was a wonderful day with photographer Jay Jorgensen. Sadly Jay took his own life a few months later. But I’ll never forget the fun we had on-set that day together.

“Glenn was such an amazing spirit. Always thinking about what he planned to do next. Always optimistic about the possibilities. I will miss him and his great smile.”

Ford has appeared in a dozen gay adult films including Bearing Leather, Conquered, a film that earned him a 2002 Grabby Award for "Best Group Sex Scene", Gang Bang Café that got him a 2003 nomination at the GayVN Awards for "Best Performer" and his lead role in Colton for which he ended up winning "Gay Performer of the Year" during the 2003 GayVN Awards.

In addition to performing in some of the hottest films for the biggest porn companies, he has also appeared in non-porn projects such as The Lair, The Next Best Thing with Madonna, Circuit, the queer horror film Hellbent and Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild.

Colton also had his own 2005 documentary film called Naked Fame, which was directed by Christopher Long. The film follows his transition from the world of adult films to mainstream club/dance music. It was released theatrically in 2005 in the United States and Canada.

Speaking of music, he released three solo albums (Tug of War, Under The Covers, and The Way I Am), and hit dance bops including Let Me Live Again. That's Me featuring Cazwell, and a remake of Stevie Wonder's Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours with Pepper Mashay. He also made an appearance in Cyndi Lauper's music video Into The Nightlife.

RIP.
