Teddy P. is dead!

I am so sad. I can't even begin to explain how sad I really am.

All I can say is that I love his voice, and that it will always be tied to the most beautiful time of my life.

Teddy sure has been "loved back," to quote his song "When Somebody Loves You Back."

When I was posting the clip of him in the sidebar two days ago, I had been searching for news about his health condition. A relatively inconspicuous news article in August 2009 had me suspecting something very serious was going on with Teddy. Now I know the sad truth.
