Jeff Healey - RIP
Jeff Healey died Sunday after a battle with cancer. He was 41.
Healey lost his vision as a baby to a rare form of retinal cancer and he battled the disease throughout this life. His website said Sunday that he died with his wife, Cristie, at his bedside in Toronto's St. Joseph's Hospital.
As a toddler, Healey picked up a guitar and, setting it on his knees, developed a distinct sound and playing style.(LINK)
He will be missed.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
It was on the northern border of Texas
where I crossed the line
I don't want to be a fool starving for affection
I don't want to drown in someone else's wine
For all eternity I think I will remember
That icy wind that's howling in your eye
You will seek me and you'll find
Me in the wasteland of your mind
When the night comes falling
When the night comes falling
When the night comes falling from the sky
