Dale Savage (X/TheDaleSavage)

Adult performer Dale Savage has died at the age of 62 after suffering a stroke, photographer Anthony Duran has announced.

Duran, a partner in Ducato Studios, shared the news on 3 July on X, telling Savage’s fans “with a heavy heart” that the adult star died on 19 June from a stroke.

He paid tribute, writing: “I am still in shock and having a hard time finding the words to write this.

“As a handsome, pansexual muscle daddy, Dale started his career at 50 years old. He quickly rose to become a true superstar in the industry. He absolutely loved his work and collaborated with some of the top studios and actors.

“After a busy and successful career, he retired about three years ago to enjoy a quiet life in Vail, Colorado.

“Love never dies. Until we meet again.”
