It’s something the whole world might having been praying not to happen anytime soon, but in the end the world’s greatest opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, whose vibrant high C’s and ebullient showmanship made him one of the world’s most beloved tenors, has died, his manager said. He was 71. Rest in peace big man. He was a true entertainer and he mixed traditional music with modern tunes to pull crowds who would have otherwise never come to listen to his kind of music and that are where we call him a true genius of all time. This is sad news, however I’m sure he had a FULL life. Just a couple of days ago the Italian government announced that he will receive a new award for promoting Italian culture in his country and abroad. No date was set for the ceremony but now he won’t be there to receive it himself. Pavarotti had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and underwent further treatment in August. Indeed a great loss for all the music fans, and yes he was a character as well always gleaming with a smile.
