Singer Andy Williams dies at 84 after battle with cancer

Andy Williams, the silky-voiced, clean-cut crooner, whose hit recording "Moon River" and years of popular Christmas TV shows brought him fans the world over has died, his publicist said. He was 84.

Williams died Tuesday night at his home in Branson following a yearlong battle with bladder cancer, his Los Angeles-based publicist, Paul Shefrin, said Wednesday.

His Christmas album played constantly in our house during the holidays.

My first reaction was: Didn't this happen a month or two ago? Then I realized that I was thinking of Andy Griffith. Anyway, RIP to a great singer of holiday songs.

RIP Andy.

Nelson will miss you too.

84? I wish I'm that lucky (as long as I have a stable health). RIP.

But 84 is a good age to pass on I guess.

This was actually the first thing I thought of.

How sad.

I fear Tony Bennett will be going soon as well. We're losing all of the great crooners.

 

[Kenka]

NO.


Vader is the only one who can push a "NO" loud enough to express how depressed I am to hear that.
We were praising him in the "best male voices" a day or two ago.

Rest in peace buddy. More than deserved for the all the good you did to us.

Yes, but we will always have Michael Bubble.

One of my favourite crooners. At least he got to live a long life even if cancer is always terrible way to die. I really like this performance he had with Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Absolutely love the song Unreachable Star.

A legend and a gentleman.
