Sad News indeed:

Luciano Pavarotti, one of the world's great tenors and a man known for his ability to hold a high C for a period of time that seemed beyond human capability, will sing no more.

Pavarotti died early Thursday morning in his hometown of Modena, Italy, of complications of pancreatic cancer. He was 71.

He had been battling the disease since July 2006, when he cancelled a farewell concert tour on the advice of doctors.

One of the world's most recognized opera singers, Pavarotti is often credited with popularizing opera.

"For me, music making is the most joyful activity possible, the most perfect expression of any emotion," he once said.

His career mixed concert appearances featuring both modern popular songs and the opera classics. As a member of the Three Tenors, with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, he packed arenas.
