Jeff Healey 1966-2008
Guitarist Jeff Healey has passed away of retino blastoma, which he had fought since birth and had taken his eyesight at the age of one. Died March 2nd in Toronto at the age of 41. Damn shame; though never one of my favorites, he was a damn fine guitar player. You may have seen him in the movie Roadhouse where he played the blind guitar player at the Roadhouse.
I do own his covers album that he put out a while back, interesting to hear his take on old classics.
So rock on Jeff, rock on...
