Jeff Healey RIP [dri]

Rock music has lost a legend. Jeff Healey, the blind Canadian rocker with the unique laptop guitar playing style, passed away yesterday of cancer at the age of 41. Although he had been blind since he was a year old, Jeff began his musical career at age three, first mastering the guitar and eventually learning to play both the trumpet and clarinet. He died just one month before the release of his latest album, his first in eight years titled Mess of Blues. He will also notably be remembered as the lead singer of the rock band featured in the classic 80’s guy flick Roadhouse.
