 In a Toronto hospital on Sunday evening, Jeff Healey lost his long battle with cancer.
Acclaimed jazz and rock guitarist Jeff Healey was remembered Sunday as a musician of rare ability who had a wicked sense of humour and a generous nature as fans and bandmates mourned his death at age 41, following a battle with cancer. Bandmates of Canadian rock and jazz legend Jeff Healey were among those shocked by the news of his death Sunday. Healey died Sunday evening in a Toronto hospital surrounded by family and a bandmate, Colin Bray.
Jeff Healey - a Grammy-nominated musician - survived by his wife Christie and two children (daughter Rachel, 13 and son Derek, 3) had long battled with cancer since age one when he lost his eyesight to retinoblastoma — a rare form of retinal cancer. Bray said Healey had been hospitalized for a week and that his advanced lung cancer made his final hours difficult. Healey had undergone numerous operations in recent years to remove tumours from his lungs and leg.
