Legendary opera singer Luciano Pavarotti died early this morning at the age of 71. He had been battling pancreatic cancer since 2006. His manager Terri Robson said in a statement: “The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterized his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness.”


  1. the guy was a thief.
    back in 1990 he declared to the italian equivalent of the IRS he earned something like 1000$ for the whole year, while it has been demonstrated he earned more than 3.5 MILLION dollars. in 1995 he declared 8000$ while he earned 5 MILLION dollars.

    too bad people seems to forget this kind of things when people die…

    I say some of you need to go get a life…. someone died, whether or not you like his music shouldn’t matter, he was an amzing man…… you’re just jealous cos unlike Pavarotti who the world loved. nobody loves you and wouldn’t care if you died.

    I grew up listening to him, he was amazing. This is so sad…

    Pavarotti had a remarkable voice. For the undiscerning miscreant earlier to have said that talent is a subjective phenomema is not true. Everything in the universe exists on a gradient; wet, wetter, wettest. Anyone can sing. Some can sing to the clamor of loud electronic instruments drowning their voices.
    It is an objextive statement that there are people of considerable talent and those with virtually none who are nonetheless promoted by the filthy, shallow culture, all capitalistically motivated as the average intellect is incapable of grasping subteties.
    Anyway I gotta go. Go eat a hamburger loaded with the poisons of modern farming “techniques”.
    PS please do not reproduce. The world is overloaded with common scum.

    I like #105. The man had talent and brought a lot of joy to millions of people. I always enjoyed his singing, and remember listening to him in wonder on NPR. I don’t really care what he did in his personal life, that’s not my concern. Nor did that effect his talent. I also agree that’s it’s disgusting that some of you tend to dance on the graves of people who have died. There’s a huge lack of respect, and it’s sad that the guy that runs this site has more respect than you. Yes, it is the superficial, but, at least he knows when and when it’s not appropriate to mock a human being. I would say that I hope there’s someone who will spit on your grave, but, I’m not that disrespectful, even to common trash like yourselves.

    All I gotta say is – #61 – “NO INSERTION” – absolutely brilliant, thank you!!!

    “Free the pervs who don’t insert!”

    “All they want is to harmlessly rub themselves off!”

    I can belive some people ( dumb ) can leave some messages like that ( tommy you suck )… he was a singer, he was a father and a self made man…he was fat and so?! …YOU are ugly….RISPECT first of all….

  14. Fuck off trolls, who cares if you don’t like his music? He was someone’s son and someones father, not to mention a talented musician, and half the people calling him fat are probably just sad, overweight losers themselves who get cheap little thrills out of other people’s misfortune because their own lifes are so pathetic. R.I.P.
