TORONTO — Canadian rock musician Jeff Healey has died, according to his publicist.

His website says the 41-year-old succumbed the cancer that he had fought since birth and that claimed his eyesight at the age of one.

Healey's distinctive guitar playing style and Blues-influenced singing earned him a reputation as a musical prodigy while he was still in his teens.

He shared the stage with such rock luminaries as Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B. King.
