Not seen this anywhere else.
For all rock and blues guitar fans sad to report that Jeff Healey, the blind Canadian guitarist who also appeared as Cody in the film Roadhouse passed away yesterday.
Jeff's style of playing the guitar on his lap was purely by instinct having lost his sight as a baby to a rare form of retinal cancer. But he still produced a great debut album, See The Light, in 1988.
RIP.

He was only 41 and leaves behind two young children.
RIP Jeff
I couldn't quite believe it when I read the headline in the news, and it took me a second to believe what I was reading.
This may be the most shocking celebrity death of the year for me personally so far.
RIP Jeff
