I suspect he got the cancer diagnosis in October, went immediately into Chemo, he was able to play his last show in May, but it probably took a lot to get him in good enough shape to do it, and then, pretty much that was it.
He appealed to so many - I am sad people didn’t get the opportunity to grieve or to adjust to the pending loss or to at least have hope. Just one day, he is gone.
Was at his concert in KW in February. He looked decent for his age. His trailer was next to stage. He took a break for about 15mins while the band did some solo stuff. Only unusual thing was that 2 people escorted him on/off stage. Totally supported him. But he stood on his own to play.
