He pushed boundaries, defied expectations, and gave all of his mind, body and heart to his peers and fans every single night.

These will be celebrations of the life of a brilliant star whose light was extinguished far too soon, and a reminder of how many lives can be touched by one man. And though time may heal the wounds of his passing, the memory of Eddie will never fade.
