Wow, so young and sounds unexpected:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/05/01/obit.gans/index.html
Singer-impressionist-comedian Danny Gans died early Friday at his Las Vegas home, according to the hotel where he was based.
Gans, 52, was voted Las Vegas "Entertainer of the Year" for 11 of the 13 years he was based there.
There was no immediate word on the cause of death.
"Everybody knew that when they came to Vegas the one show they had to see was Danny Gans," said Robin Leach, who covers the Vegas entertainment scene on his Web site.
Hotel mogul Steve Wynn, who signed Gans to star in his Encore Theatre in February, said he was "devastated at the loss of our brilliant, talented and loving friend."
"One of the most unique human beings and entertainers in the world has been taken from us in an unexpected moment," Wynn said. "A profoundly tragic event that leaves us all sad and speechless."
Gans is survived by his wife, Julie, two daughters and a son.
