who is this (late) singer?

[singular1]

I know as soon as this is answered I'll :smack::smack::smack::smack:, but I can't think of this name. A coworker said she was going to see Van Morrison, and I said "No way, he's dead!" She quickly let me know I was wrong, and for the life of me, I can't figure out the name of the singer I'm thinking of. He's a balladeer and recently died of cancer (I think), leaving behind a beautiful last farewell album. One of the more poignant songs had haunting lyrics like "Please think about me when I'm gone", but my Google-fu is weak on that one. Countdown to the quick answer in three....two....one...

Warren Zevon.

When I was having my wedding pictures done the photographer had his final album (The Wind) playing in the background. I hadn't heard it yet, but I knew of it. I still remember it being kind of weird hearing him sing Knocking on Heaven's Door.
