Very unexpected.

O M G so young.  Always loved those musical numbers mentioned.  With the life he led, in a way, i'm surprised he lasted this long.   I'll never forget that moment at The Grammys when he did that duet on Up Where We Belong, just sensational and the audience cheered accordingly, i think they also scored an Oscar for it.
