'50s pop singer Eddie Fischer dies at age 82 by Raquel Maria Dillon, AP
LOS ANGELES – Eddie Fisher, whose huge fame as a pop singer was overshadowed by scandals ending his marriages to Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor, has died. He was 82. His daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher of Los Angeles,
told The Associated Press that Fisher died Wednesday night at his home
in Berkeley of complications from hip surgery. "Late last evening the world lost a true America
icon," Fisher's family said in a statement released by publicist British
Reece. "One of the greatest voices of the century passed away. He was
an extraordinary talent and a true mensch." The death was first reported by Hollywood website deadline.com. Fisher's clear dramatic singing voice brought him a
devoted following of teenage girls in the early 1950s. He sold millions
of records with 32 hit songs including "Thinking of You," "Any Time,"
"Oh, My Pa-pa," "I'm Yours," "Wish You Were Here," "Lady of Spain" and
"Count Your Blessings." - more
