The big man with a big voice

Sad news indeed about the death of Luciano Pavarotti. One of the world's greatest ever tenors, his repertoire spanned four decades - from his ground-breaking entry into the opera world in the 60s, performing definitive versions of Puccini operas like Tosca to later "popular" collaborations such as the huge selling Three Tenors CDs and concerts, to his chart success with Nessun Dorma, and duets with the likes of Celine Dion, Zucchero, James Brown, U2 and even Grace Jones...

The world has lost a magnificent musical talent, but his voice will live on forever.
