Saw a photo of him on the news that was supposedly taken a day or so before he died; he was grinning broadly with a devil-may-care attitude, seemed relaxed and looked healthy as all get out.
It never occurred to me he may have taken the physician-assisted route.
Maybe he looked so good and so happy in that photo, because he'd 'decided' and felt glad about gettin' goin' while the goin' was good, before he declined to the point where he couldn't do anything about it.
The photo of him in the dark suit wearing a hat was from his last photo shoot,don't think I have seen a date for that shoot mentioned.He was an amazing artist,I have been a fan since I was 13.We Philly fans revered the man.Everywhere I go people of all ages are talking about him,playing his music.The tributes I've read from almost every news outlet leave no doubt,he was well respected.
