Talk:Jeff Healey/Archive 1

"He Never Saw It Coming"
I wonder if that's an appropriate comment. I visited his club on Blue Jay Way in October of 2007 on a benefit night for him and the host, Danny Marks, referred to the fact that the childhood cancer that took his sight was active again. Marks relayed a message from Healey that he was hoping for a happy outcome.

I may be overly sensitive, but "he never saw it coming" seems like a poor joke. Jeff Healey was a powerful figure in Canadian music, if not always in the limelight, and to lose him a 41 is pretty sad.

If I'm the only one who's put off, don't change it.

 * That was just vandalism, which has since been reverted. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Lots of misconceptions regarding his cancer. He didn't die of lung cancer, he died of metastatic sarcoma (this per the blog on his official site). That sarcoma wasn't a "reactivation" of his bilateral retinoblastoma, but rather likely to be a consequence of his congenital DNA defect that rendered him prone to retinoblastoma & other cancers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.38.82.159 (talk) 09:05, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
