Idolator

Canadian blues guitarist Jeff Healey, best known south of the border for his 1989 hit "Angel Eyes," died yesterday after a lifelong battle with retinal cancer that rendered him blind when he was a baby and eventually spread to the rest of his body. Healey was 41; his final album and first in eight years, Mess Of Blues, will be released in Canada and the U.S. next month. [National Post]
