Oh My God!! I can’t beliieve it. What a wonderful and talented man. Every time I went to Las Vegas, I made sure I purchased tickets well in advance to see his performance. To put it mildly Mr. Gans electrified his audience always getting a standing ovation that would last for many minutes. DANNY you will be sorely missed! God Bless Him.
My husband and I saw Danny Gans about 5 years ago. We got lucky with the last two seats in the back of the theatre and were blown away by the emotion of Danny’s performance. His imitation of the blind military man Pacino played in the “scent of a woman” brought tears to my eyes. That was the kind of reaction he pulled in from his audiences. I’m taking my son for his 21st birthday to Vegas and I’m so sorry he won’t have one of Vegas’s best experiences. A true performer is now with his maker. If only he could send down his new material
Danny will be missed in this town as an Entertainment Icon. If it wasn’t for him paving the way, I wouldn’t be working as a Singing Impressionist in Las Vegas today. Ironically, I just moved to a small room one block from the Encore about the same time he moved from the Mirage. RIP Danny.
My family and I saw Danny Gans just 3 months ago for the first time. He was a great performer and a true talent. He had an amazing voice and show. I feel it was a privilege to see him and was shocked and saddened at the news of the loss. I know he was a good family man and a God fearing man because of the show he performed and its content. You walked away really knowing the man, not just another entertainer. We will miss him and his great comedy, voices, and talents. Our prayers go out to his wife and three kids.
He will Be Missed I Was In shock When In Heard watch him on the THE BONNIE HUNT SHOW my thoughts and prayers with his family and children sorry for your loss
There will never be another like Mr. Danny Gans. Good, clean, first quality entertainment. You are missed so much, already Mr. Gans. Blessings to you & all your family from all our family. Our sincere condolences.
I recall many years ago, I was performing with singer Barbara Mcnair in Vancouver BC for a week long run. Danny Gans was our opening act. He was super talented, and a very friendly guy. I enjoyed hanging out, having lunch and talking about the road life with him.I recall him talking about how he hoped one day to headline in Vegas. Well, he did everyone in the entertainment business proud! What a talent and a person. He will be missed. My prayers are with his family.
I just saw his show the night before he died. He was such a dynamic versatile singer with an incredible range.
My girlfriend ran into him in the halls at the Wynn heading for the golf course with a bounce in his step. She commented what a happy energetic guy he was.
He paid a wonderful tribute to his family whom he obviously loved, and commented that he was doing what he loved and thanked God for the opportunity and his family.Altough his life ended quickly, he had everything he loved when he died. Not many people can say that. I’m deeply saddend by his loss and glad I got to see his last performance.
