Why would such a gifted and talented Soul, feel he could only end his life with an air gun. Jerry...rest in peace, no longer tormented by your personal demons....salute!
What a sad moment in music that was. I read that it put him in a coma but he was determined to be unrecoverable from the state he was put in from the brain damage. Truly a tragic loss. I think about Jerry's voice all the time and wonder why, but then you can hear the sorrow of his voice in many of his performances. Something about that in Jerry Hadley may have fueled his entire career before the decline in Opera weighed heavily on him, especially when entering the later half of his life.
“Discovered” Jerry Hadley when Hampson brought him along for what Seattle audiences thought was going to be a solo recital. Wow! Everyone in the house (some 3,000) was and still is grateful for this introduction. Both men did solos as well as duets. One of my favorite memories, from the early 90s.
They also sang this as part of James Levine's 25th anniversary at the Met--sheer perfection. Can't hear Jerry Hadley without feeling a pang at his leaving this earth way too soon--I can imagine him, under other circumstances, going on to have quite the impact at a teacher.

Magnifico , potrebbe essere un inno ufficiale per le coppie Gay .Quando in Vatikanistan , pardon Italy , saranno permesse le nozze per tutti , vorrà' ascoltare questa aria con l'Uomo della mia vita.
