Sad to hear.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Saw him play in Ogden, Utah in a small club way back when. He was fantastic!

He looked really bad when he was on Jimmy Kimmel in Austin a few months ago. RIP
