      I saw him play in Brooklyn about two weeks after that article was published. He was obviously sick, walked with a cane, needed help getting on stage, and his wife sat there on the stage with him...

      I saw him play in Brooklyn about two weeks after that article was published. He was obviously sick, walked with a cane, needed help getting on stage, and his wife sat there on the stage with him for the entire set. I think he even had an oxygen tank nearby in case he needed it. But he still played like a demon!
