RIP Jeff Healey

Postby Enzo » Tue Mar 04, 2008 12:32 am

Guitarist and bandleader. Healey died of cancer at 41 in Toronto.

Jeff was the blind guitarist in the movie Road House.

This is a sad loss to us in the music scene.

Thanks, Enzo. He really was blind, and a Canadian. {Waves flag :roll: }

Died of retinoblastoma, which blinded him at one year old. Man, that sucks. :cry: But what a contribution he made. 8)

I heard about this last night. Very sad indeed.

I saw him play in a club in Halifax, Nova Scotia back in 1985. Been a fan since.
