    That's so sad.

    He was an amazing and unique guitar player.

    RIP

    Fuck, he was great. Too bad most people will be like "oh the guy from Roadhouse?"

    RIP

    The only thing I know him from is a burned copy of Cover To Cover that I got from a roommate in college. I still spin it from time to time. Sad to hear that he passed. I really liked what I heard on that album.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    That's too bad. He and I share the exact same last name (same spelling).

    R.I.P. Jeff Healey.

    what a bummer. he was a great musician. saw him once in the early '90s, was in the first 10 rows - incredible show even though he sat down almost the whole show. My sympathy goes to his family.

    Amazing talent.....he really rocked on his version of "My Guitar Gently Weeps."

    That's awful. He was in my ipod and, just a few weeks ago, I told my wife, "I really would've liked to have seen this guy live." Cancer is incedibly cruel. Maybe it could be cured if we weren't siphoning a trillion dollars into the Iraq war :(.

    Very sad for a guy to die so young and to leave a family behind. RIP Jeff.

    i always put off catching his show at his roadhouse, thinking i'd see it on a later date. now it's too late. my sister absolutely loved his shows, and has told me how great a performer he was. the music community lost genuine talent today.
