Just heard this news about Jeff Healey:

TORONTO – Blind rock and jazz musician Jeff Healey has died after a lifelong battle against cancer. He was 41.

He was an amazing guitarist. I had not realized his blindness was due to cancer, at age 1. I know he’s up there in Rock ‘n’ Roll Heaven, seeing the glory all around him. Peace, Jeff…thank you for the music and for being so kind to your fans.

You can read more about him here.

I would just like to reiterate here once again that cancer SUCKS.
