LOL Exactly what did people expect? He live till 80? He had an amazing voice and that will be missed but if he wanted to live longer he should have known better...
I like him. He was a great singer I like when they did the modern stuff It was unique R I P Rocket River

If it is true that he abused his body as was mentioned earlier, he should be glad that he even lived till age 71. Normally people who pig out like that get a heart attack around age 50 and croak. I admired his work. He brought opera to the mainstream.
Maybe some expect others not to have an I-Told-You-So attitude when another human passes away. Do you go around to the funerals of your friends' grandparents saying, "What'd you guys expect?! Fools!" It's called paying your respect
