Luciano Pavarotti, the bearded opera legend, died early Thursday after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer. With his noted girth and cheeky duets with pop singers, the 71-year-old tenor was that rare maestro of classical music who was as instantly recognizable around the world as superstars from MTV and the movies.

Damn shame, guy had one hell of a voice. I was lucky enough to him perform live twice. Simply amazing. I'm surprised he lived that long through pancreatic cancer. A family friend of mine is going through it right now. Apparently, this type of cancer does not give very much notice before the patient dies (3-6 months according to a few doctors).
