“Sorry to hear that you've taken ill and hope you'll soon be on the mend and up and about. I send you love and prayers.
Your fellow boy singer,

Frank Sinatra said of Matt:
"His pitch was right on the nose: his word enunciation letter perfect: his understanding of a song thorough.
“He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but by his fans all over the world."
