Elizabeth Taylor’s ex-husband Eddie Fisher dies at 82

POP singer Eddie Fisher, whose voice brought him a devoted following of teenage girls in the early 1950s before marriage scandals overshadowed his fame, has died at age 82.

He passed away on Wednesday night at his home in Berkeley of complications from hip surgery. “The world lost a true America icon,” Fisher’s family said. “One of the greatest voices of the century passed away.”

In the early 50s, Fisher sold millions of records with 32 hit songs including Thinking of You, Any Time, and Oh, My Pa-pa, but his fame was enhanced by his 1955 marriage to movie darling Debbie Reynolds. They had two children.
