More on Luciano Pavarotti
Description from Wikipedia:
Luciano Pavarotti Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI
(12 October 1935 – 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor, who also crossed over into popular music. He was one of the most commercially successful tenors of all time. He was one of "The Three Tenors" and became well known for his televised concerts and media appearances. Pavarotti was also noted for his charity work benefiting refugees, the Red Cross and other causes.
Celebrity beyond the world of opera came to Pavarotti at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with performances of Puccini's Nessun Dorma,sample from Turandot, and as one of "The Three Tenors" in their famed first concert held on the eve of the tournament's final match. He sang on that occasion with fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras, bringing opera highlights to a wider audience. Appearances in advertisements and with pop icons in concerts furthered his international celebrity.
His final performance in an opera was at the Metropolitan in March 2004. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, saw him on stage for the last time, where Pavarotti lip-synced Nessun dorma, with the crowd serving as the aria's chorus, and he received a thunderous standing ovation. On 6 September 2007, he died at home in Modena from pancreatic cancer, aged 71.
