Pavarotti dies, aged 71

It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Only sadly, in this case, it's all over for the fat man. Opera great, Luciano Pavarotti, a man of gargantuan girth, died today in Modena, Italy of complications arising from pancreatic cancer. He had surgery to remove a malignant tumour in July 2006 and he had not sung ever since. God bless his tremendous voice.
