Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti has died at his home in the northern city of Modena, his manager has announced. The singer, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, was 71. His charismatic performances - particularly alongside fellow tenors Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras - helped bring a new audience to opera. Pavarotti had cancer surgery in July 2006 in New York, five months after his last performance. He had not made any public appearances since then. He underwent five bouts of chemotherapy in the past year, and was admitted to hospital with a fever on 8 August. He was released two weeks later following diagnostic tests. Fellow tenor Domingo said he had "always admired the God-given glory" of Pavarotti's voice. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6981032.stm A very sad loss.  http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...otti_203ap.jpg
