A young baritone who was still ion the opera school took it one Christmas and had to sing somewhere. As a result he developed lucemia, and dies from it just before easter. Actually he was starting to do better, but it seems they did a bone marrow test and went too deep and punctured his heart. This was before you could sue doctors successfully. A soprano I knew who was there as well (and later became an important soprano at the ENO in London) told me that in her 10 years previously working as a nurse, she had known of three cases where this had happened. The story of Carreras I heard from several sources, it was floating around in the business. A baritone coleague of my had it from Agnes Baltsa, who sang with Carreras a lot.
