RIP Jeff, great work gone way too soon.

Blind rock and jazz musician Jeff Healey has died after a lifelong battle against cancer. He was 41.

Jeff Healey developed his style of guitar playing when he was a child. Healey died Sunday evening in a Toronto hospital, said bandmate Colin Bray, who was in the room with Healey's family when the guitarist died. The Grammy-nominated Healey rose to stardom as the leader of the Jeff Healey Band, a rock-oriented trio that gained international acclaim and platinum record sales with the 1988 album "See the Light." The album included the hit single "Angel Eyes."
