(CNN) -- Famed opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who appeared on stage with singers as varied as opera star Dame Joan Sutherland, U2's Bono and Liza Minnelli, died Thursday in Italy after suffering from pancreatic cancer, manager Terri Robson said in a statement. He was 71.
"The great tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, died today at 5:00 a.m. at his home in Modena, the city of his birth," according to Robson.
"The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterized his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness."
RIP Luciano Pavarotti

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

This just tops off the last week. I won't list all my whines and complaints, sorry list that it is, and then yesterday I was met on a very narrow road, rounding a curve, on my mail route, by a 17 yr old in his souped up sports car sliding sideways into me. Not a good combination. Knocked me within 1 inch of a drop off a cliff, in fact, the good Lord put a clump of dirt right under my rear wheel. I felt it giving and was somehow able to pull up before it went over.The good thing is that I did not roll over down into the ravine and my car was not too badly damaged-tie rod broken and very little body damage, his car did not fare as well as my Wrangler- the whole side was trashed.
So I spent last night and all day today dealing with insurance, the work end of this(very complicated) and convincing the insurance co. that I will NOT go back to leaning across a vehicle to serve my route, that's why I have a RHD...it goes on and on... then I get on here and see that HE's gone.... geee......edited to add- they just played it on the news, from his singing at the olympics.....the voice of God on earth.....
