Only Age 52. It was a sudden death. He was a great guy. He graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA (near where I live).

Gans performed for many years at the Mirage before moving to the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas in February.
Gans was 52 years old.

Saw his show a couple of years ago. Didn't want to go because the singer/impressionist/comedian thing seemed really boring and dated, but we had free tickets so we went. Turned out to be one of the best shows I've seen in Vegas. Entertaining as hell and just really fun.

Just signed a $200 million contract with Steve Wynn, as well.

Same thing here, we had free tickets to see him, and went just because we were bored. It was a great show, the highlght of the trip.

RIP Danny.
