We've all lost an incredible talent...hard to believe he was only 41!.
He was here in Peterboro' just last summer and I was lucky to catch his first concert at the Gardens back in the 80's too...always impressive!.
Thanks Jeff...RIP..

Wow, that is terrible. he was an amazing talent.
I did not realize he was that young. I am in shock and at a loss for words.

my thoughts are with his family and friends.

"I thought you'd be bigger".
He was only 23 when he did the sound track for this classic.

I did my own little tribute to Jeff today. I put all my Jeff Healey CD's on and played them all through.

RIP Jeff.

The radio station in Toronto Q107 with Kim Mitchell has benn playing songs throughout the day. Kim was adding his memories of Jeff. it was good to hear. I was playimg it through my computer while working around the house.

Kim Mitchell...is that the same Kim Mitchell who used to have a band...that opened for Rush years ago?

I think he always wore pink Keds or something similar?
