The Critic Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Jeff Healey died in Toronto on Sunday at age 41 after a bout with cancer. Very sad news - I was lucky enough to see him in concert a couple times, and he was absolutely fantastic. 41 is way too young to check out. Rest in Peace, Jeff.

Kid Gleason Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Saw this on Yahoo this morning. Quite sad. I didn't realize his blindness was due to a lifelong battle with cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wow, that is sad. I saw him at Mabel's in Champaign the month See the Light was released. He was amazing, warm, smiled throughout the show. 41 certainly is too young. And I didn't know the blindness was cancer-related either.

hammerhead johnson Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I read in the trib that he died of lung cancer at the age of 41???? What's the story? I remember this dude from that god-awful piece of s*** movie "Road House". RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 In a related story, Patrick Swayze - also of Roadhouse - confirmed that he is currently suffering from Pancreatic Cancer. The National Enquirer is reporting that he only has weeks to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 02:01 AM) In a related story, Patrick Swayze - also of Roadhouse - confirmed that he is currently suffering from Pancreatic Cancer. The National Enquirer is reporting that he only has weeks to live. His publicist denies the severity of the illness, but he looks like hell in the story photo and pancreatic cancer is especially pernicious, hard to catch before it spreads, and almost impossible to hit pharmaceutically once it does.

retro1983hat Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I remembered that song Angel Eyes he sang. It was pretty good. Came out around the same time as Roadhouse. I think he toured with Stevie Ray Vaughn as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
