NEW YORK (AP) — Tenor Stephen Gould, who announced earlier this month that he had been diagnosed with incurable bile duct cancer, has died.
Gould's agent Stephanie Ammann confirmed the singer died Tuesday in Virginia.
He debuted in Richard Wagner’s “Ring” cycle in Bayreuth in 2006, earning raves during the challenging four-nights of performances.
It’s often discovered by accident — for example, through routine blood tests or imaging done for an unrelated reason.
He is survived by his sister.
