Robert Goulet, legendary crooner and ladies man died this week after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Goulet's velvet lined pipes graced Broadway, Vegas, ESPN commercials and Naked Gun 2 1/2 (he was the guy eaten by the tiger at the end.) Goulet also had the distinction of being on TV the first time Elvis shot out his television with a gun.

Goulet was 73, but strangely he was a huge 'Tallica fan and was the first treasurer of the Metclub. Metallica will be performing "Fade to Black" at Goulet's funeral at the request of his widow. Rock on, Goulet.





Check out the official statement on Goulet's site for more details and pictures before he looked like Ned Flanders.
