Very sad news indeed. Saw Shaun sing a series of Elvis songs at an Elvis 'Artist Of The Century' Ball some ten years ago in Birmingham (UK). He had one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. R.I.P.
Why him Lord ?? Too young ! All Elvis fan mourn I'm sure. He was as close to EP as one could be and we'll miss Sherrill a lot. Every time we hear his beuatiful voice...we'll remember him no doubt. Big loss ! Our prayors go to his family !
I saw Shaun for the first time in Germany many years ago at the German fanclub convention. I saw him many times since then in Gemany, The Netherlands and Memphis. He was our guest for 3 shows in Belgium 2004. And when i moved to Breda, The Netherlands we invited him again june 2009. Goodbye my friend.
Rest in peace Shaun, Thank you for everything! With love, Ed
Loved his voice. And Thankfully we have the recordings forever. So sad, he's left us.
I saddened to hear of his passing. His legacy in the music world peaks for itself. However, in the Elvis world his counterpart harmony vocals with Elvis were amazing. For a sample of solo Sherrill visit www.CDBaby.com. There you can buy an excellent 3 CD set of Sherrill with his story about his times with Elvis. I highly reccommend this set to any one who knows of Sherrill. RIP my friend.
My heart is sad with the news of Sherrill's passing. His vocals are unmistakeable. I always enjoyed hearing him sing with Elvis. I think my favorite was Spanish Eyes. Got the chance to meet him in Memphis during EW a few years ago and it was a thrill. I'm sure Elvis and JD are glad to have him home again to sing once more. RIP Sherrill.
Indeed very sad,I lost my mother in September,so I know how they feel.
Thank you for your great voice, I like the "O solo mio" very much. And for Deke Rivers 6: my condolences, specially at Christmas time. I myself lost my father in 2001, I was in the Phillipines at that time, I called home to say that I had a good flight and the answer was that my father died that morning. These things happens.....
Such a great loss to all of us. I only heard him when hr toured with Elvis. His beautiful voice added s o o o very much to the show. Probably the best tenor voice I ever heard. God bless him.
I am so sorry to hear that. Well by the time passing, we are gonna hear more sad news like that. R.I.P. Sherrill Nielsen and I hope u sing in heaven with Elvis;well you already had begun. We'll miss you.
Very sad news indeed. I absolutely love his rendition of Walk with me and of course Softly. He will be missed by the Elvis comunity and beyond. Condolences to his family and RIP Shaun, thanks for all the joy you brought to Elvis and his fans.
