Eddie Money, ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ Singer, Dies at 70

Eddie Money, the prolific singer and songwriter whose songs “Baby Hold On,” “Two Tickets to Paradise,” “Shakin'” and “Take Me Home Tonight” soundtracked popular music in the 1980s, died Friday (Sept. 13). He was 70.

What started out as esophageal cancer, spread.

One Ticket to Paradise, Eddie. Enjoyed your music and songwriting talent. RIP.

Saddened To Hear Of His Death

Saddened To Hear Of His Death



Saw him in concert in 1979. "The Babys" were the opening act, followed by Eddie Money, the ex-NYPD Cop, then Santana.

We smoked copious amounts of weed at that concert.

Saw him 5 or 6 years ago playing a county fair. His daughter killed it on bass.

It's very possible that weed had something to do with how he got from Edward Mahoney to Eddie Money.

In 1980 the family took a drive down to Florida for a little camping on winter break. Having nothing but the car radio to listen to, Baby Hold On was drilled into my head by the time we got home two weeks later. And that's when I first heard about this new guy, Eddie Money.

I only first heard about Eddie Moneys cancer diagnosis a couple weeks ago, so I was shocked to hear that he succumbed so quickly. I don't know much of his music, but there is no doubt that he made a significant impact on 80's music. RIP.
