True legend.
So distinctive in his guitar style and his performance.
As Sid says, he's got terminal pancreatic cancer and treatment to control it (chemotherapy) would just make his last year of life miserable so he's opted to live out the rest of his life doing what he does best, playing and performing. He's announced a farewell tour as a result.
On a recent interview he said how much it's changed how he views things in life and that he's cherishing every moment no matter how big or small.
