RIP. :'( I'm not a big opera fan, but Pavarotti simply has an amazing voice.

This is him at the 2006 winter olympics.

Gotta give the man credit for remaining a celebrity even in a field of music that the mainstream doesn't care about.

RIP to one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

Can't say I liked Opera much either, but he did have one of the best voices out there RIP

Magnificent voice. RIP.

RIP
Probably the greatest voice we'll hear in our lifetime.

RIP. :(

Funny, I was reading an article about him not all that long ago, and I remember reading his age and being quite surprised he was as old as he was. I think it may even have been about the state of his health.

A terrible loss for the world of music.

RIP

Pavoratti is someone I could never really like musically, but could readily appreciate. As already said, he deserves credit for having crossover appeal in a genre that most people can't really stomach or stand. He had a powerful voice, and one that was recognisable.

You know, I was watching the news before I went to bed the night before he died, and they said he was in poor health. Then I wake up and flip on the news, and they said he was dead.

RIP. Amazing voice.

RIP
