Eddie Money R.I.P.

Eddie Money, the singer-saxophonist whose string of hits include “Baby Hold On,” “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Take Me Home Tonight,” died Friday at the age of 70.

“The Money Family regrets to announce that Eddie passed away peacefully early this morning,” the family statement read (via Variety). “It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our loving husband and father. We cannot imagine our world without him. We are grateful that he will live on forever through his music.”

Money suffered a series of health problems in recent years, and in August revealed he was battling stage 4 esophageal cancer in a promo for the upcoming season of Real Money, a TV series about the rocker’s life.

I'll never forget his appearance on terrestrial Stern (opposite Fred Norris as Liberace).

At 59, 70 does not seem old at all. R.I.P. Eddie Money.
