je n'ai pas trouvé de topic sur ce grand guitariste alors je poste ici, meme si c'est pas pour des nouvelles tres joyeuses ... Jeff Healey ets une excellent gratteux de blues rock (je ne sais pâs si il continue dans ce style, personne n'ayant trop de news), aveugle, qui joue la gratte à l'horizonthal sur ses genoux ... il est tres impressionant, a egalement une belle voix ... il etait surtout connu à la fin des 80's et aparait dans le film "Roadhouse" avec Patrick Swayze (et la belle Kelly Lynch).
JEFF HEALEY BEING TRATED FOR CANCER:
Press Release: It is a somewhat well-known fact that the cause of Toronto musician Jeff Healey's blindness was due to retinoblastoma resulting in the removal of both eyes before the age of one. It seems that Jeff has a predisposition to cancer as a lifelong battle. Within the past few months, Healey developed a sarcoma (malignant tumour) in his left thigh. This past Tuesday, May 24th, Jeff underwent a successful operation to have it removed and will be recovering for the next month. Reports are positive that the cancer has not spread elsewhere in his body so far, however Healey will need to be checked every 4-6 months for the rest of his life for any potential recurrence.
"In spite of this news, I'm doing okay," said Jeff from his hospital bed yesterday, munching on a turkey sandwich smuggled in, in retaliation against the hospital food. "Apparently I'm going to be fine. The doctor is very happy with the results of the operation. He feels that he got the whole tumour out of there and from the tests that they did, they don't feel that it has spread." Jeff recommends that anyone with a previous history of cancer obtains regular check-ups with his/her doctor as there is a genetic predisposition to other types of cancer, so he'd like to warn others to be tested regularly.
Jeff will continue to broadcast his new radio show My Kinda Jazz on Jazz FM 91.1 in Toronto every Monday night from 9:00 - 11:00 p.m., also heard online around the world at: www.jazz.fm. He will be back playing his weekly residency at the Healey's nightclub with his band The Jazz Wizards by mid-June. Well-wishers may send Jeff a message at: info@jeffhealey.com or check: www.jeffhealey.com for updated news postings.
