Cancers of the throat are particularly virulent. Once diagnosed, you are never safe.

He was a police training as a team, which was the forerunner of the Cadet program. When he was 19, he went to California to follow his dream of being a musician, thus shelving the NYPD dream, which his father and his brother were in.

Eddie Money, ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ Singer, Dies at 70

By Shirley Halperin
September 13, 2019 7:04 AM PT
Eddie Money, the prolific singer and songwriter whose songs “Baby Hold On,” “Two Tickets to Paradise,” “Shakin’” and “Take Me Home Tonight” soundtracked popular music in the 1980s, died Friday (Sept. 13). He was 70.

A statement provided by his family reads: “The Money Family regrets to announce that Eddie passed away peacefully early this morning. 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 recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer.

A reality television series about Money and his family, “Real Money,” had aired on AXS TV starting in April 2018. It chronicled his life at home and with his family, revealing his health struggles.

Money made his home in the Bay Area where he performed at the city’s clubs regularly. A star of MTV’s formative years, during which he starred in a series of comedic music videos, he saw major chart success with such songs as “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to Paradise” and in 1986 “Take Me Home Tonight”, a duet with Ronnie Spector, which was a radio hit. He was signed to Columbia Records and released 11 albums throughout his career.

Known also for his comedic manner, both in his music videos and in interviews, he told Rolling Stone last year that, despite his string of hit songs, he “missed the boat when it [came] to the big money.” In his typically self-deprecating manner, Money capped the conversation with this view: “The kids aren’t in jail, they’re not in rehab, nobody’s wrecked the car this week and there’s still milk in the refrigerator. I’m having a good month.”

Money is survived by his wife Laurie and five children.

Loved his music, but those cigarettes did him in.

I still can't figure out why people smoke. It's a bad habit. I know once you start ,your are hooked, your body craves the nicotine. Now we have the "vaping" thing going on..

I've gotten a greater appreciation of his music over the years. But I also like his sense of humor:
Wife: you look fat
Eddie: the camera adds 10 pounds to you
Wife: how many cameras were on you?
