The maestro died today at 5:07 am Italy time due to a complication of the pancreatic cancer. May his soul rest in peace.

How ironic. Britain finds "Pavapotty", and the original must give way.
That is the way of the world. RIP.

Paul Potts - winner of "Britain's Got Talent" - sounded just like him.

Not really into my operatic music, but I did used to lovingly refer to the "three tenors" as "The three stooges".

RIP big man

Very sad. Quite the self-promoter, but at least Pavarotti made a lot of people, who wouldn't otherwise have touched classical music with a bargepole, realise opera might actually be listenable.

Incidentally, Pavarotti was actually a great singer, unlike this Paul Potts (and many other celebrity classical singers.)

The cancer finally got him. :(

Wonder what Domingo and Jose Carerras will do now?

I wouldn't know about that, *nudge nudge wink wink*

yeah, very sad news. Man was pretty decent at what he did, and he also provided me with the "this music's phat and ill ... like Pavarotti" line. Bah!

Just what "instrument" are you referring too? :-k

Good luck in the big music hall in the sky, Pavs.

Voice perhaps? Some consider the voice to be an instrument
