Klaus Nomi - The Cold Song: from Purcell's opera King Arthur.

Klaus Nomi sung this aria in Munich six months before his death in 1983. He was visibly suffering from the effects of AIDS during the performance, including fatigue and shortness of breath. He was 39 when he died. Henry Purcell, the great English composer, was 36 when he died in 1695. (via C-Monster)
