He's an American treasurer. I wish him well, and safe passage when that time arrives.

It was great to see him. He got lost a little between songs, but seemed to know exactly where he was when he was singing...

He was still great. So sad to see this happen to him, but so very cool of him to do that tour while knowing very well what was happening to him. I hope they find the root cause and a cure soon.
