Footage of Crooner Andy Williams after he told the audience at his Christmas show at Moon River Theatre he has bladder cancer. An enthusiastic standing ovation greeted the man known as Mr. Christmas when he appeared immediately following the "Oh What a Night!" quartet's opening number. Williams performed one song Saturday November 5, 2011, singing "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" with the quartet as his accompaniment. This would be Andy's final performance as he started cancer treatment shortly after. Andy Williams Died September 25, 2012 after a nearly one year battle with bladder cancer.

There will never be another like Andy Williams...I adored you as a child, watched your show weekly and anxiously awaited the Christmas special each year...I played your version of Moon River at my mother’s funeral...Rest with the Angels, LEGEND...#YouAreMissed💔💔💔🎄🎄🎄🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

One of the perks, when I worked as an entertainer in Branson one year, they would let you into any show in town for free. I saw Andy 20+ times. I never went to any other show.

Hard to see him looking so ill. He was singing from the age of 5 until 81. He had a four octave range. He never missed a note. He was good, handsome, smart, kind, generous, charitable, funny, snappy dresser, encouraged young talent. RIP Mr Entertainment you will not be replaced.

John Gary and Body Williams sang together twice. 🎶 Once at Carnegie Hall? M. Elgin. Illinois.

Andy had a THREE OCTAVE RANGE from E2-E5 One of the World's GREATEST Singers! No vocal impersonators could get more than half of Andy's unique voice it was so complex!

No one even comes close to the vocal talent of Mr. Williams. He is greatly missed by myself and many. Thank you Mr. Andy Williams for all the music and joy you brought to others.

This is... hard to watch. I cried when he began singing The Christmas Song. Not knowing that this is gonna be the last song he would ever sing - and it was. And everyone thought he would come back the next year... it all ended so tragically.

Andy Williams has been a favorite since I was old enough to love music. My parents had a great love of music and we listened to All of his music growing up. I have several of his Christmas albums & CDs. It’s not Christmas without him.

@35diamondgirl 11 лет назад

What a bittersweet moment, and how wonderfully he was still singing. I was a young child at the time, but I remember Andy's Christmas shows, and I remember watching him sing this song with his brothers and loving their vocal blend. Christmas won't be the same without him.

It's after 4 AM, another "hard to find sleep" night. Watching this video again and reminiscing. What a terrific man. The most wonderful voice this planet has ever known...or ever will. What must have been on his mind at that moment. Yet he still took us on his vocal runway and up into the sky. The leader of the band. The joyful expression. How fortunate to be the one to shake his hand. Watching those sneakers disappear into the wings... I'm a nobody, from nowhere, but it hurts so much.

Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Etc.. Where all Amazingly Talented Singers, I personally feel That Andy Williams is The Voice of Christmas for me., as far bk as I can remember hearing "Happy Holidays " and other songs he sung. Alway brought out The Spirit of Christmas in me and around me. So many have come and gone as will continue to be, But Andy Williams will be The Voice of Christmas forever for me. Merry Christmas and "Happy Holidays" Everyone.

@bndkllr2763 7 лет назад

Andy Williams, the Voice of Christmas! For my last performance with the Army Band, I got to sing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," and it was like he was on that stage with me! Ever since I heard his voice come through my parents' car stereo thirty years ago on the way home from Christmas Eve service at our church, I've always gotten good bumps when I hear that song.

@showtunestarpower 10 лет назад

Andy's voice was in great shape right up until the end. A pro such as he would never sing in public unless he was totally up to it. This mortality thing is such a drag.

I know this comment is 7 years after this video,but Andy Williams was such a gentleman, with my favourite song of his was 'Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year', as it was the first song of his I listened to. I wish he was still around to entertain us all. His vocal chords have been fantastic throughout his entire life, including on this video, for being 84, it was very clear and beautiful to listen to. His voice definitely opened my heart to other kinds of music. Even though I was not born in the 1960's, but I am still appreciative towards him. May he Rest In Peace. 1927-2012

I loved when I was in Branson at other shows around Christmas and they all said the Christmas season starts when Andy Williams says it does. He made me laugh many times when he said he was going to sing a Christmas song for us at his theater and he would sing 'Moon River". His shows were the best in Branson and he always had such brilliant performers on stage with him. I miss him so much. RIP Andy - When I get ready for Christmas I always think of you.

@johnnyelectron 7 лет назад

I only got to see Andy in concert once, when he was 57 years old, and his voice was still smoking great at that time. Would have loved to have heard him sing "Ave Maria" at his concert, but he stuck to his chestnuts and a new LP he made in England that combined classical music with lyrics sung by Andy. His singing during RFK's funeral was unbelievable, and don't pass-up a chance to hear his 1974 "Christmas Present" CD or "The Complete Columbia Christmas Recordings" of Andy Williams (compiled about 2014 by Real Gone Records). R.I.P. Andy.
