Luciano Pavarotti, whose vibrant high C's and ebullient showmanship made him the most beloved and celebrated tenor since Caruso and one of the few opera singers to win crossover fame as a popular superstar, died Thursday. He was 71.
His manager, Terri Robson, told the AP in an e-mailed statement that Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, Italy, at 5 a.m. local time. Pavarotti had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and underwent further treatment in August.
"The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterised his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness," the statement said.

My parents loved Pavarotti's voice. On our way to somewhere we listened to the Three Tenors or just Pavarotti. He lives via his music.
Mum comes to pick me up tomorrow (we're going to the summer cottage), I bet that she will have her copy of Pavarotti's Ti Adoro cd with her.

Sad news - he was a pretty incredible voice and seemed a genuinely nice guy to boot.

Sad. A master of opera, a sense of humor. As Floor said, Paul Potts has the talent but has some big shoes to fill.

It is a sad morning indeed. He will, live on through his voice and archives of the Opera's we can still find scouring the shelves of our local libraries.

I'm terribly sorry. He has not sung for several years now, but it is still a loss to know he is gone. He is one of the primary reasons I got hooked on opera. He made classical voice fun.

Nobody can sing Nessun Dorma like Pavarotti... His performance with that is simply suberb.
