My Tribute to Benjamin Orr & Brian Connolly

[TimothyBFan]

Both huge Bands of their own respective time, I enjoyed so much both. I have a great rare version of Love is like... Live, with some cool jamms like a popurri with little parts of other's Bands like Iron Maiden (I believe)...

What was the cause of death of B. Orr?

Wow--what was this called and when was it put out? Did you find it on line somewhere? Would love to hear it.

Benjamin Orr died of pancreatic cancer. He had only known about it for 5 months before he passed away. He and the other cars were preparing for a reunion tour and in fact there is a final interview that was given only a couple months before he died with all of the Cars on an anniversary dvd (it was also posted on YouTube-don't know if it still is) and he was in really bad shape and you could tell he was very ill and had lost tons of weight. It was very sad watching that. He was engaged to be married when he found out he was sick. He left behind a young son at the time.

I'm bringing this thread back out of the woods. Ben Orr is one of my favourite singers of all time and so sad he died like he did. He seemed like a very nice guy. He sang like an angel and his bass playing was incredible. The Cars are one of the greatest bands of all time and one of the three bands that are my favourites. They aren't the same without Ben Orr. Ben Orr, you are truely missed:
