Cancer claims Jeff Healey

Just found out that legendary blind Canadian guitarist Jeff Healey died Sunday. He was just 41 years old. The retinoblastoma cancer that robbed him of his eyesight as an infant finally took his life.

I think Healey’s performance in Road House was the highlight of the whole cheesy film, but opinions vary.

He leaves behind a wife, 13-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son. Sad to hear he’s gone.

Here he is performing Angel Eyes (Rickroll-safe YouTube video). He had amazing talent.
