Retinoblastoma is often an inherited disease and Healey’s son was born, Derek, was born with the affliction. The good news is that due to cancer research, Derek (now around 10 years old), underwent surgery at the age of four months and beat the odds, not only having sight, but doesn’t even need glasses.
Did Jeff Healey play a Squier?
Much is made of the fact that Jeff played Squier guitars. I never knew him to own or play a ’70s Strat or mess with different pickup brands; in fact he hated Strats of that vintage, and very much preferred Japanese ones from the ’80s. Jeff stayed loyal to the Squier brand for most of his career.”
