Quote:
Opera legend Luciano Pavarotti has died at age 71, as his health deteriorated to a "very serious" condition after he fell unconscious; he passed away at his home at 5 a.m. local time. The Italian tenor's health took a turn for the worse following his recent hospital stay to undergo treatment for pancreatic cancer, and, on Wednesday, a local TV news station in Modena reported Pavarotti was on his death bed after suffering kidney failure. Friends and family of the 71-year-old singer held a bedside vigil at his home in Modena, located in northern Italy. A spokesperson for the University Policlinico hospital, where the singer was previously treated, refused to comment on the status of his health. Pavarotti underwent surgery for cancer last year and had at least five rounds of chemotherapy

What was he? 71? That is a good innings for a man his size.

I always thought he did a good job of bringing opera to the masses. Most of British people couldn't name you a single opera tune until they used his version of Nessun Dorma......aka Chicken Korma.......on the World Cup coverage in 1998.

half the time the guy was off-key. Nobody told him cause that would be like telling the Emperor he's got no clothes on. I would have told him.
