Jeff Healey dead at age 41

Sad news,
Canadian musician Jeff Healey died last weekend after a life long battle with cancer. I worked for him in 1992 in the studio and on tour....he was a real gentleman, a prince. He will be missed.

Sad indeed. He was only a month older than me. I remember the first time I saw him on one of the late night shows (Carson or maybe Letterman) back in the 80's. Amazing player. RIP, Jeff.

sad news, the man has been, and will be, an inspiration to many.
RIP

Yeah , he had way more feel than most of the " stars " out there
the press descibed it as a " lifelong " battle with cancer ,
that's allot of adversity to overcome , but he left a good legacy
R.I.P. Jeff
