His mother dying kicked his knees out from under him.
He’s never been the same, since.
I was very happy to hear that he’d cleaned up and become a vocal Christian.
His last album, “Dead Again” features a very strong anti-abortion song.
Some of his fans wandered away after he “got religion” but I was overjoyed.
For the last 2 years, he just hasn’t looked well.
The likely cause was his size.
He was 6’ 8”, no longer working out and had put on an unhealthy amount of weight.
I think that all of that simply put too much of a strain on his heart and it failed.
[he’d undergone previous tests for an “undisclosed health issue” several years back...probably his heart even back then, I suspect]
