(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.

I am not much of an Opera fan. But the fact I know of this man says much about his fame and his appeal. No doubt the world has lost a great signer, a great artist, and a great man.
