Luciano Pavarotti RIP via The Blog of madringo, Sep 6th, 2007 at 19:14

This morning, we lost probably one of the greatest voices the world has ever encountered. Luciana Pavorotti the infamous Italian Tenor died this morning surrounded by his family at his home in Modena, Italy. He had been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2006. Pavorotti, was of course one of the most famous opera singers, but was also famous for the number of duets he partook over recent years. He’s proformed with bands such as Queen, as well as James Brown (who died on Christmas Day 2006) and Barry White (Died July 4 2003). He was mostly known for his role in the Three Tenors, whom toured during the 1990’s and in recent years. The Late Pavarotti and The Late James Brown... Similar posts

Luciano Pavarotti - RIP via The Rambling Man, Sep 6th, 2007 at 09:21

The famous and larger than life Italian opera singer, Luciano Pavarotti, has died at aged 71. The singer passed away this morning at his home in Modena, Italy from complications arising from his battle with pancreatic cancer. He had given his last public performance - fittingly of Nessun Dorma, his signature tune - at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006. May he rest in peace with the words of Puccini’s song resonating to his memory … Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All’alba vincerò! Vincerò ! Vincerò ! No one will know his name and we must, alas, die. Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! Technorati tags : luciano pavarotti : nessun dorma : opera :...
