Speaking to Billboard of his final album, 2017's Adios, his wife Kim said "I miss my husband" in a recent interview. "It's really sad. He's in the late stages of Alzheimer's. It's so beautiful to me to hear him communicate with music. We'll have that forever. It brings a tear to my eye. It's a double-edged sword. It's sweet, but it's also bitter."
