Las Vegas headliner Danny Gans dies at age 52
« on: May 01, 2009, 01:40:15 PM »


Las Vegas Strip performer Danny Gans died this morning at age 52.

Hotel spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne says Gans died early today at his Las Vegas-area home.

Dunne calls the death sudden. She says she doesn't know details yet about how or why Gans died.

Gans was a quick-change artist, using his supple voice, elastic face and body English to jump from character to character.

In his 90-minute-plus program, Gans delivered a buffet of impressions: Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin — in self-duet with Jerry Lewis, and the inevitable Elvis and George Burns.

Daaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnn!  Yes, I saw him at the Mirage many moons ago.  Incredibly talented--probably one of the most overlooked guys in LV.

Prayers to the family.

Damn! I recently saw an expose on him. He had incredible talent. What a loss.   :(

     Maybe his mind got confused and thought he was 82 instead of 52, what with all the outdated impressions of 70's personalities he did.

I've never seen a show of any kind in the dozen times I've been to Vegas, but I've certainly been bombarded with Danny Gans ads whenever I visit.

RIP.

I never saw his act.  He didn't use midgets in his show.

RIP, Danny.  You had a good run.

I just seen an interview with Danny's pastor on the news, very touching.

Danny had just recently wrote a song about his parents, put the song on CD and donated all the CDs to his church for a fundraising project for expansion.

What a great man He's looking down on us tonight.
