You've probably heard that NZ singer Rob Guest died this morning in Melbourne of a stroke. I never saw him sing live, but by all accounts he was a fearsome Valjean in one my favourite musicals, Les MIserables.
So as a tribute, not by Guest himself unfortunately, here's a YouTube excerpt from the Finale of Les MIserables, sung at the death of Valjean. It's a real tear-jerker. (For maximum effect, click on the clip 'Les Miserables. Final Act II. 10th Anniversary Concert' immediately the first clip finishes).

I saw him at Les Mis and he was absolutely fantastic. I also saw him singing the national anthem at a cricket match in 1992 (the world cup match against Australia) - without a doubt one of the best renditions.
