Rest in Peace Luciano Pavarotti

Opera singer, Luciano Pavarotti died yesterday at his home in Modena, the city of his birth. He was suffering from pancreatic cancer and passed away at age 71.

According to CNN.com, Bono of U2 released the statement:

“Some can sing opera, Luciano Pavarotti was an opera. No one could inhabit those acrobatic melodies and words like him,” Bono — who noted that U2 wrote “Miss Sarajevo” for Pavarotti — said. “He lived the songs, his opera was a great mash of joy and sadness; surreal and earthy at the same time; a great volcano of a man who sang fire but spilled over with a love of life in all its complexity, a great and generous friend.” Source

The statement is very passionate and seems straight from the heart.

Rest in Peace.
