Passings: Luciano Pavarotti, 71

The world has lost musical royalty today. Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, 71, died this morning of pancreatic cancer. A proponent of bringing opera to the masses, Pavarotti was known for his truly unique, exquisite sound and, in his later years, for appearing in more commercial, mainstream performances, alongside the likes of Sting, Elton John and Bono. Distinctive for his sound, personality and charm, there will only be one Pavarotti and he will be sorely missed.
