Canadian Blues/Jazz guitarist Jeff Healey died of cancer yesterday aged 41. www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/03/america/NA-GEN-Canada-Obit-Healey.phpI saw the Jeff Healey band at Rock City in Nottingham back in 93 and they Rocked! Jeff was probably one of my biggest influences after i bought his debut album 'See The Light' back in 89, a truly great guitarist who played with so much emotion, he'll be sadly missed RIP Jeff

Yep - a sad day indeed. First saw him in that crappy swayze movie 'roadhouse' when I was a kid... loved his playing style.
A real loss... rock in peace Jeff...

Holy crow, I didn't even know he had cancer.
I never really got all that into his music, but I could appreciate how good he was.
That sucks.

My mum showed me the article in the paper last night, I didn't even realise he was ill.

RIP Jeff Healey
What an amazing musician...
To be as amazing as he was and battle cancer on and off since he was one. One courageous man.
Being an 80's kid - Angel eye's was one of my favorites...

Being an 80's kid - Angel eye's was one of my favorites... Damn i feel old now! but yeah that was a good ballad, i've just ordered a new copy of 'See the Light' lost mine years ago but love that album, one of his finest IMO.
