1960年代初期から活躍しているアメリカの歌手ダン・ヒックスが2月6日に死去。ヒックスの妻が公式サイトで公表した。
ヒックスは2年前に肝臓ガンと診断され闘病生活を送っていた。

My darling darling husband left this earth early this morning.
He was true blue, one of a kind, and did it all his own way always.
To all who loved him, know that he will live forever in the words, songs, and art that he spent his life creating. He worked so hard on each and every detail — they are all pure Dan.
So, Duke, Benny, Django and Stephane — he’s on his way — you’ll be laughing soon!
Much love,
