Luciano Pavarotti, famed tenor, continues to live with pancreatic cancer and is currently recording a new collection of classical religious music. He also continues to teach a select group of students every day according to an article from the AP.

Pavarotti underwent surgery in 2006 to remove a cancerous mass.

Recently, an Italian magazine quoted one of Pavarotti’s daughters, Guiliana, as saying her father “knows he will die soon.” She insists that her words were taken out of context. Pavarotti apparently took the mixup in stride and laughed about it.

According to Corriere della Sera newspaper, Pavarotti responded further, “You want to hear from me — whether I’m dead? I’m getting better, I’m on the mend.”

Best wishes to Pavarotti and his family as he continues to live and to create, in spite of pancreatic cancer.
