Got some sad news this afternoon. Canadian born rocker Jeff Healey passed away on Sunday after a long battle with cancer. Healey lost his eye sight at an early age because of cancer and it haunted him and his family again. He was just 41 years old at the time of his passing.
Healey had some big hits in the '80's, notably "Angel Eyes", and had a good cameo in the film "Roadhouse". He's survived by his wife Christe and kids Rachel and Derek. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
Here's his great cover of George Harrison's, "My Guitar Gently Weeps".
