OT: Not Glam..but Luther Vandross dead.

[A Katt Named Raggz]

For those who loved Soul Vocalist like I do.

Grammy-winning soul singer and songwriter
Luther Vandross, who suffered a serious stroke two years ago as he was about to relaunch his career, died on Friday in a New Jersey hospital, officials said. He was 54.

"Luther Vandross had a peaceful passing under the watchful eye of friends, family and the medical support team," said Rob Cavanaugh, a spokesman at JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey.

Apparently ol'Luther still performed for quite a
while even though he was quite ill. That's either
courageous, greedy or stupid - I'm guessing it's
the former, because he seemed like a nice bloke.
Shame.
