RIP Eddie Money (1949-2019)


Mystere Said: Eddie Money, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Wikipedia: Edward Joseph Money (né Mahoney; March 21, 1949 to September 13, 2019) was an American singer and songwriter who, in the 1970s and 1980s, had eleven Top 40 songs, including "Baby Hold On", "Two Tickets to Paradise", "Think I'm in Love", "Shakin'", "Take Me Home Tonight", "I Wanna Go Back", "Endless Nights", "Walk on Water", and "The Love in Your Eyes". Critic Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times called him a working-class rocker. In 1987, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Take Me Home Tonight".

Money -- who had been a cigarette smoker for years -- developed pneumonia following a minimally invasive heart valve replacement surgery in July 2019, causing him to cancel tour dates. On August 24, 2019, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. He died of complications from the cancer at Keck Hospital of USC in Los Angeles on September 13, 2019, at age 70
