His charismatic performances - particularly alongside fellow tenors Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras - helped bring a new audience to opera.
Pavarotti had cancer surgery in July 2006 in New York, five months after his last performance. He had not made any public appearances since then.
Sad to hear that. It was Pavarotti that created an opera craze here in UK at the time of the Italien World Cup....
I still think he does the bestest Nessun Dorma...
He was that old really?:eek:

O SOLE MIO
G. Capurro / E. Di Capua
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia' na festa...
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
‘o sole, ‘o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole
se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole
se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
‘o sole, ‘o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
poor Mr Pavarotti :( why is it so many people die of cancer these days? it's like everyone has some form of cancer. is there a higher prevalence today or did people die younger/of other diseases in the past before they could develop cancer?
Web rivals plot answer to Wikipedia
its tragic the amount of people dying of cancer. My uncle died from the same cancer where he was 72. May Luciano Pavarotti Rest in Peace.
I would imagine that cancer existed, but simply was not recognized, in the past.Quote:

And if I sat here long enough I could probably think of a few more literary referances to it.

Parents ban 10-year old from video games, ends in kid's suicide Sad that this had to happen.
How idiotic, killing yourself because of games. His parents should never have bought them to him in the first place!
That is really sad. Thanks for sharing the story, and it is yet another reason to add to my list for not allowing my children unlimited access to video games and such. They're too young now, but even when they are allowed to play it will be for a very limited time. I see no reason for them to spend hours on the computer or PS2 surfing the internet and playing games. I'm a bigger fan of sending them outside to play.
No video games during the school week and I barely get on during the weekend so my VG time is limited. I'm with you berry, send the kids outside to climb trees and get beaten up, makes them tough. And for those of you who don't decide to be daredevils, the fresh air improves your body anyway
I'm not a parent, and have no plans of such in the near future. But if and when I do bcome a parent, that's my plan as well. I feel that children need to interact and learn things through discovery and hands-on playing with real toys, climbing trees as you guys said.
Killing oneself over a video game?! What is this world coming to?! And who ever told the kid that the game was so important?!
Of course I blame the parents, how on earth could the child be allowed to become so attched to the darned thing?!
Witness Says Drowsy Driver Was Going Up To 70 MPH
DENVER -- An admittedly drowsy driver has been ticketed following an incident that was all caught on videotape.
The woman drove for more than 30 miles in the Denver metro area while she was nodding off.
Christian Pruett and his wife were driving on Interstate 25 on Monday morning when they noticed a sport utility vehicle next to them drifting from lane to lane, and nearly sideswiping their car
The couple grabbed their video camera and photographed the sleeping woman with her head back as her vehicle moved along I-25 at speeds of up to 70 mph.
.............................................
In a recent study by Virginia Tech researchers, cameras were installed in 100 cars, most of them the study participants' personal cars, to film driving behavior for a whole year. The study's findings included the determination that drowsy drivers were a factor in about 12 percent of the crashes that occurred during the year. The study showed that drowsiness contributed to 20 percent of all crashes and 16 percent of near crashes. Researchers were concerned by the findings because they believe that drowsiness as a factor in car crashes or near-accidents is under-reported.
"People think drowsy driving means you fall asleep," a researcher said. "All it takes is a lapse of a second or two, and you might not be aware of it. The Virginia Tech research showed that the drowsy driver could be you. It could be me."

Women in Liverpool are the vainest in the UK - checking their appearance in a mirror up to 71 times a day, according to a new survey. The city topped the poll ahead of London and Newcastle.
The woman also re-apply make-up as much as 11 times a day - which is almost once an hour for an average day.
Rosalind Chapman, from Transformulas International, which commissioned the survey said it proved that British women like to look good.
She said: "British people often get criticised for not being as image conscious as our European counterparts but this survey is the proof that we love to check our appearance and look good."
