A fine, fine musician, and a crying shame... :bawl:
No disrespect intended to the late George Harrison, but I always thought the Jeff Healey Band's cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps was better than the Beatles original...
Despite his battle with cancer, he undertook frequent tours across Canada with both his blues-based band and his jazz group; he was set for a major tour in Germany and the U.K. and was to be a guest on the BBC’s famed Jools Holland Show in April.
Remembered by his musicians — and his audiences — for his wry sense of humour as well as his musical playfulness, Healey was a unique musician who bridged different genres with ease and assurance.
