I had read he was doing fine. Guy has had his health issues over the years. My grandfather had that done and lived another 20 years.
His (My grandfather) was caused by years of heavy alcohol abuse. I don't know what Leslie's story is.

Well he's in his 60's, he was a heavy drug addict and overweight much of his life. It's amazing he's lived this long. Wish him the best though.

Saw him at the Satch show at HOB in Vegas back in 2008. Couldn't wait for him to get-off the stage and for Satch to get on. But still bummed for him about this. Good that his spirits are up. I'm sure it'd be rough. Honestly, with all of his issues I thought the guy would have passed a long time ago.
