Canadian blues singer and guitarist Jeff Healey died in a Toronto hospital at the age of 41 on March 2. He had been battling cancer for several years. He leaves behind a wife, Christie and 2 children.

Healey battled cancer at age one - retinoblastoma, a rare form of retinal cancer - which left him blind. But being blind didn't stop Jeff - he taught himself to play guitar by laying the instrument across his lap and his unique style and his rich, soulful voice earned him a successful music career. Much of his commerical success came with being frontman to the Jeff Healey Band.
