Legend tenor Pavarotti dies at 71

The world's opera legend Luciano Pavarotti has died of pancreatic cancer at his home in the northern Italian city of Moden at the age of 71, reports BBC. Last night Pavarotti suffered kidneys failure and fell into coma. In 2006, Pavarotti had cancer surgery in New York five months after his last performance.

His condition would steadily deteriorate, with the doctors being unable to save him.
