This is sad news indeed. In 2003, the Three Tennors came to Bath to do a free concert to celebrate the opening of our new spa. I had the privilege of seeing the great Pavarotti perfom Nessun Dorma live. Truly unforgettable.

^You know Jules, that was his last public performance. How appropriate that it was with that song. (and incidentally my favorite aria for tenors that I PRAY I'll one day be able to perform myself).

^^^OMG! Really? I knew he had been talking about retiring for some time ~ even when the concert happened ~ but I had no idea that we were among the last people ever to have that privilege!
There were quite a few tributes to Pavarotti on TV last night ~ he was held in much greater affection than I ever imagined.
I didn't know you were a singer, Wildcard!
Listening to Nessun Dorma as we did that night, it was truly amazing because I had heard Pavarotti sing that song in recordings so many times that I kind of took it for granted, but by golly, that night the hairs stood up on the back on my neck. It was quite something, he had a unique voice.

^^You're very lucky, Jules. I've only ever seen him perform on television.
That man had a great talent, a true genius.
Pavarotti was someone who was just there, you know? I don't know how else to describe it. Kind of like how Diana was just there (You know I've just realised that she died just over, by a matter of days, 10 years before her friend Pavarotti - odd, eh?).
Now he's not around is just weird. You never truly appreciate something until it's gone.
