Wowsers.
*takes his hat off for a moment and holds it over his heart*
May he rest in peace.

Wow.

I was first introduced to Pavarotti through my grandmother, who was always an avid fan of opera. That may be where I gained my appreciation of classical.

The loss of Pavarotti shall surely be felt throughout the operatic world, and among those who appreciate true art of voice.

Heh, one day after Freddie Mercury's birthday.

*Bows head. Great, big MOOSIE tears run down my cheeks*

*Puts a silver-laced handkerchief on his grave marker*

Now sing for the angels in heaven, sir.... I will miss you...

what a shame :( may he rest in peace finally

He will be missed...awesome singer

just read it in cnn.com
very sad, but at least he was prepared to return with his family (father and mother ).
rest in peace luciano! :/

Awwwww no way...damn...

ya know he's better than Bocelli

Awwww that is so sad :(

While I'm a huge music fan, I've never been big on opera/classical type music much... but, facts are facts...

and the fact of the matter is that the man had some talent. And also, that regardless of talent anyways... he'll be missed no matter what.... as he rigfhtwise should be.

And, Ironically enough... if I had to pick which one's style between the 2 I personally liked a bit better, it would be Bocelli compared to Pavarotti. Particularly with Bocelli's "Time to say goodbye" song.

Also, speaking of that, a nice gesture on Bocelli's part would be to dedicate that song to Pavarotti at the next performance Bocelli gives somewhere.

Now only Plácido Domingo and José Carrera is left. *throws a flower to the grave* May he rest in piece.

Those are the only two tenors left?! There's GOT to be others up and coming? no? :P My.. how I wish I could have watched pavoratti perform. Though I did watch him on tv once. what a set of lungs.. wow.

A legend has been lost. I was sort of shocked to hear that in the news today; but I knew unfortunately it was a matter of time. May he be singing with the muses now :)

an amazing singer who lived and long and prosperous life, may he rest in peace.

Pavarotti's last public performance was in Torino, Italy, where he sang "Nessun Dorna" in the Opening Ceremony for the 2006 Winter Olympics. At his age, with his probable state of health at that point, he was still able to create a performance that still could stop a show with an audience of BILLIONS.

He was truly "one of a kind"...I don't see how anyone could follow in his footsteps. The Maestro will be missed.

*bows and leaves a black rose next to yours*
