This is really depressing. I went to bed late last night and just before I did, I'd read a news article which said his condition had become worse. I hoped he'd make a speedy recovery but alas, this happens. We've lost a great talent.

I find it distressing that this year we've lost both Beverly Sills and Luciano Pavarotti. They were 2 people who were extraordinarily responsible for keeping opera alive and well, bringing it to the general masses. It's just so sad.

:cry

I remember hearing last year that he had pancreatic cancer. In a way, I said my goodbye to this guy back then. Just about nobody recovers from pancreatic cancer. I just hope his caretakers helped him go peacefully.

I heard about this on the radio while driving home from work this morning :( :(

[Dasquian Belargic]

Wow :( What a loss.

I read his condition was serious yesterday and was thinking this was probably it. Too bad - he was such an incredible opera singer. I had the pleasure of seeing him twice at the Met and it was unforgettable. RIP Maestro...

Very sad. Nessun Dorma is such an awesome song, when sung by him.

[Itala Marzullo]

Hail to one of the greatest.

[Jedi Master Carr]

He was a great singer. He will be missed.

Wow, that's sad!!! :( 悲しいです！ I used to be a music major... was a vocalist, though my major was in instrumental performance... and that's just...

Now I'm all depressed... more than I already was tonight :/

Not that I have any reason to be depressed... I just am... :(
