Diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. Used to like his tunes in the 80s. ☹

He had a pretty wild lifestyle, even for a rock and roller. I'm kind of surprised that he made it to age 70.

Anyway, I hope he pulls through and makes a recovery.

I still like his tunes.

Saw him open for Cyndi Lauper at the Spectrum in Philly circa 1984 or 1985. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

I thought for sure he would have got the Parkinsons

Seeing this thread I could only recall two of his songs (Two-tickets and Shakin).  But looking him up he had a pretty long and successful career.  Several really good songs.  Stage 4 is serious stuff, but hope he can somehow fight it.

A friend of mine saw him at a restaurant in New York before a concert there.  His opening band was some chick rock band (I don't remember the name).  My buddy was in the army at the time, talked to Eddie Money without knowing who he was.  Told him he was pretty excited to be going to the concert to see the chick band.  Said he was a cool guy about it.

That dude was the bomb.  Kill my landord...kill my landord.  Who killed Buckwheat?  Hot!  In the hot tub!  Ow!

He had 2 tickets to paradise and used them today. Rest in paradise. Cancer sucks!

I was friends with a guy who ended up being one of Eddie's drummers in the 1990s.  Said Eddie was a pretty cool guy.

His seat is due to a heart valve procedure complication from end of May, not the cancer.  Just clarifying. 

Take me home tonight is just one of those songs that never gets old for me.  Can't say I was the biggest fan but I sure do like that one and a couple of others.

Some news sources say complications from cancer. Regardless, cancer sucks.

Agree, friend.

He played the Destin Seafood Festival around 2009 and I was on the planning committee for the fest. He said he'd like to play golf that day before the concert. We had someone take him to the Raven in Sandestin which is one of the best in the area. He came backstage right before the show and was a wee bit tipsy but full of joy. He was signing away and I stood in line and had a $1 bill signed.   Eddie Money Money.   Priceless!

RIP to someone who sounds like they lived to live not just not to die.

GB and Godspeed, Eddie.
