Death
On March 2, 2008 Healey died of cancer at St. Joseph's Health Centre in his home town of Toronto at the age of 41. His death came a month before the release of his new album, Mess of Blues, which would have been his first rock album in eight years.

r.i.p jeff healey, a guitar legend. :cheers:

Sad news. For anyone reading this who wasn't aware of him, he was a superb guitarist specialising in blues rock, and he was completely blind. Anyone who has seen the movie 'Roadhouse' starring Patrick Swayze will have seen and heard his immense talent.

Sad! I used to watch him in bars and pubs back home before he got big. He'll be missed.
Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?

Very sad news indeed. I remember seeing him in the early 80's. He came on stage and proceeded to take a pictures of the audience, which was really cool seeing as he was blind!!
A sad loss...
