Umro Pavaroti

[Jake Chambers]

(CNN) -- Famed opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who appeared on stage with singers as varied as opera star Dame Joan Sutherland, U2's Bono and Liza Minnelli, died Thursday in Italy after suffering from pancreatic cancer, manager Terri Robson said in a statement. He was 71.

"The great tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, died today at 5:00 a.m. at his home in Modena, the city of his birth," according to Robson.

"The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterized his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness."

The portly singer retired from staged opera in 2004, but was on a "farewell tour" of concerts when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006 and underwent emergency surgery to remove the tumor.

Although the remaining concerts of his tour were canceled, his management said that he hoped to resume the tour in 2007.

But in early August, Pavarotti was hospitalized in Modena with a fever and released 17 days later after undergoing diagnostic tests.

Pavarotti is survived by his wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, and a daughter, Alice, along with three grown daughters by his first wife, Adua Veroni, whom he divorced in 2000, and a granddaughter.

According to Robson, his wife, daughters and sister, along with other relatives and friends were at his side when he died.

Remembering a legend in happier times

   RIP Pavarotti. We recall a story we wrote about  
   him in 2003. While rehearsing for his farewell
   performance at Covent Garden, Pavarotti sloped
   off to his dressing room with two female dancers.
   And was discovered a little later, by the
   runner sent to retrieve him, enjoying
   oral sex from one, while the other held his
   stomach out of the way.

Eto šta ostade od Pavarotija, jednog od najlepših tenora 20. veka - ostade da je voleo da mu igračice puše i da je bio debeo. A zaboravlja se da se pojavio u duetu sa svim estradnim zvezdama. Da je poživeo još koju godinu, verovatno bi snimio nešto i sa Suzanom Mančić. Možda ploču, možda film.

Ne mogu zamisliti kako ovo izgleda. Ali svakako je bio veliki tenor. R.I.P.
