Blind guitarist Jeff Healey dies at 41
Blind guitarist Jeff Healey dies at 41 - Yahoo! News
I just wanted to pay tribute to the very talented blues-rock guitarist Jeff Healey. I've been a fan of his since i first seen him play back in 1989. Blind since age 1, Healey taught himself to play guitar by laying the instrument across his lap, which lead to his very unique playing style.
You're an inspiration.
R.I.P. Jeff

It's a shame he died so young. He was a truly gifted musician.

A great Rythmn and Blues guitarist, complete with the blind and self-taught story, in the slide guitar style.
Sad. Now let me go research how he died, the link isn't working.
