As you probably know by now, legendary opera singer Luciano Pavarotti passed away yesterday after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
U2 front man Bono posted a message about Pavarotti on his band's official site. He had some kind words to say about the tenor.
Here is an excerpt:
Some can sing opera, Luciano Pavarotti was an opera.
No one could inhabit those acrobatic melodies and words like him. 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.
The complete message is much longer, and can be read in its entirety here.
Isn't there anyone that Bono isn't friends with?
