Heard that Mr. Lightfoot was not all that healthy. He had had a drinking or a substance abuse problem. Don’t know if that was a rumor too, but in any event, glad he is still among the living.
Lightfoot was hooked on booze and amphetamines during the 1970s but he’s been clean & sober for years now. He did have a health scare a few years ago but made a full recovery.
