He was 52.

The cause of death is unknown.

If you've ever been to Vegas his name is on every taxi, every billboard, everywhere you go on the strip seems like. Pretty tragic loss.

Oh wow, only 52. I remember his billboards everywhere in LV. Never saw his show though.

Seems kind of young. He appeared as an animated host on my Microsoft BiCycle Poker game.

Wow - I never saw his show, but heard that it was really good. The wife and I had planned to see him on a future Vegas trip.

 

[Crazee]

I saw his show. It was really good. The guy had an amazing talent to do singing impersonations. He was extremely successful and from all accounts a really good guy.

 

[ScottMac]

He was the leading act (or at least voted most popular, something like that) in town for a couple years, performing at the Rio, then he moved to another house ... can't remember which.

no no... this is just his Heath Ledger impression

I saw his interview on CNN a couple of months ago. He seemed like a nice guy and the next time I was in Vegas I wanted to see his show.
