Operatic Great Departs by Linh
Italian operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti has succumbed to pancreatic cancer in Italy today at the age of 71.
Pavarotti passed away with his wife, daughters, sister and close friends by his bedside, in his birth town of Modena in Italy.
He was one of the most enigmatic singers who enthralled and excited audiences with his high Cs and magnificent voice. Pavarotti was the most well known of the Three Tenors alongside Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, and made his final stage appearance in 2006, before undergoing surgery this year.
A funeral will be held for Pavarotti in Modena on Saturday 8, with celebrities expected to attend including U2's Bono and film director Franco Zeffirelli.
