“A certain tenor, of impressive reputation, died of an apparent pulmonary embolism at age 38. No autopsy was performed.”
Rumors suggest that the actual cause of death was an Italian pillow.
It is said that he was singing at a gathering for a group of powerful Italians — (read Mafioso)
The Don was so impressed that he asked the tenor to sing at his daughter's wedding.
The singer casually acceded.
Unfortunately he was so inebriated that his “contract” did not register in his foggy mind.
The wedding came. The singer did not. The Don, who had been bragging to his associates of the star's pending performance at his daughter's nuptials, was embarrassed. He ordered a hit.
End of story …
Anybody familiar with this narrative?
