From cbc.ca:
Rock and jazz musician Jeff Healey died Sunday in a Toronto hospital after a battle with cancer, his publicist said.
He was 41.
Healey lost his sight at age one as a result of Retinoblastoma, a rare form of retinal cancer.
Due to his blindness, Healey taught himself to play guitar with the instrument held across his lap while seated.
His unique playing style, combined with his blues-oriented vocals, earned him a reputation as a teenage musical prodigy. He shared stages with George Harrison, B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I hate to hear that. He was an awesome singer, guitarist, actor . My heart goes out to his family.
