Alzheimer’s disease. On March 8, 2016, Rolling Stone reported 
he was living in a Nashville memory care facility and that he was
in the "final stages" of his disease. He was unable to communicate
with people and understand what people said to him. However, his

"cheerful”. The latest update on his condition stated he no longer
can play the guitar. His final studio album, Adiós, is slated for
