Jeff Healey dies - Page 2

Just found out .

Damn this makes me so sad

Another one of my favourite players gone for ever

Bollox !! Bollox !! Bollox !!

What a shock!

I'd been wondering for a long time what ever happened to him. I thought he just retired and decided to stay home. His debut was HUGE, and you heard of him everywhere you went. It seemed that after the second album you didn't hear anything about him anymore.

He was a great player.

R.I.P. Jeff Healey

R.I.P. Mr. Healey was an inspiration, and he will be missed.

Telehackster · March 2nd, 2008, 10:33 PM

As many of you have said already, his death is indeed a shame. My sympathies to his family.

These posts make it clear that he is affected many folks in positive ways. He did well, and may his spirit live on.

Yeah, me too. Gonna go say a prayer, and spin some Jeff Healey CD's. One of the few and far between guitarists that actually gave me goose bumps.

Vios con Dios Amigo!

I just can't believe this. This is such terrible news.

getbent · March 3rd, 2008, 12:02 AM

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that he didn't suffer too awfully much.

Another one of the greats taken too early....R.I.P Jeff Healey!

Frank B · March 3rd, 2008, 05:43 AM

What a mess... he will remain a great inspiration as a guitarist and a musical role model for me.
Cancer took my dad away from us this past May and my mom is undergoing treatment right now. It's been taking away more and more people that I love and respect.
Sad, really.

My sympathies to his family and loved ones.

ramseybella · March 3rd, 2008, 05:59 AM

Cancer Sucks like a hidden time bomb, my wife is in remission but the crap never go's away, now I just found out my friends health nut wife has it real bad!
What a loss what an active guy he was as well!!

a great great loss. very sad.

Eric Karonen · March 3rd, 2008, 06:57 AM

RIP, Jeff. I enjoyed every one of your shows whether it was through your various bands or your radio show, My Kind of Jazz. You made us proud.

fierce_carrot · March 3rd, 2008, 07:03 AM

Once again we lose a tremendous talent....Jeff was truly an amazing player, a true inspiration to all of us who have ever picked up a guitar. For him to play it across his lap and play in such an unorthodox style, and absolutely KILL while doing it was utterly amazing. Jammin to his cd's has always been one hell of alot of fun.

Stevie 202 · March 3rd, 2008, 07:04 AM

All the good things we do in this life resonate far beyond our own lifetimes.
He was by all accounts a good and humble man and obviously a great musician.

Thanks Jeff. Safe journey.

eddiewagner · March 3rd, 2008, 07:08 AM

i am so sorry to read that bad news.

ehawley · March 3rd, 2008, 07:11 AM

WOW...One of my top favorites! He will truly be missed.RIP

Tonemaster · March 3rd, 2008, 07:33 AM

For an artform, we lose more than our fair share. You are sorely missed Jeff.

superchicken_VI · March 3rd, 2008, 07:37 AM

A true loss.

stephent2 · March 3rd, 2008, 07:58 AM

like most here I'm shocked, what a loss.

Tele-Ryan · March 3rd, 2008, 08:35 AM

Definitly a huge loss to the music community.

I just got married a month ago, in late January, and Angel Eyes was our wedding song. Not only did he play music that musicians loved and respected, but he also played music for the masses.

Rest in peace, brother. The jam won't be the same without ya.

tiktok · March 3rd, 2008, 08:39 AM

Suffer no more, Jeff, rest in peace.

wierdOne · March 3rd, 2008, 08:48 AM

rip Jeff... wow... so sad.

It's hard to lose a 41 year old husband, son and brother. It must be harder for those children to lose their dad. They're all in my prayers tonight.

Amen to that
