I think he looks fine. A little bit thin but that's it. His smile is hella cute!!

He looks like 57 years old and 112 pounds.

This.


But he looks happy. I'm always a sucker for the big cheesy grin.

Indeed. He looks relaxed.

I was stood within 10ft of him at a gig in 2014. He was still strong, even powerful looking, definately not that scrawny. No wastage, no turkey neck. Dude in this photo is seriously ill in my opinion. It's heartbreaking to see him like that.

Yes and that was 2014. Once you are in your 50s and 60s, 2 years can be a long f*cking time.

I love this pic and he looks happy and plenty healthy, whether he was, in reality, or not.

How the hell do you know? If your profile is accurate, you're 38. You know nothing about being 57.

Lighting is EVERYTHING. This is 2009, when he made the hilarious comment about "Made a $5 bet with Mariah about coming dressed as an almost life-sized banana. What do you say now, Mariah?"
I wish there was a video of it. I can't find it.

LOL Yeah, I'd love to see a video of that as well. He looks fine to me in this picture. It's not that difficult to discern what is lighting and old age. Still not talking about either when I say I see his by now known health problems in the first picture. You can have health problems and smile, be happy, age well etc. It still shows if you know what to look for. I had that look in my eyes when I was 32. Age has nothing to do with it, and it needn't be fatal either.

The problem is the first picture is a profile picture, so you are not able to fully discern what his eyes show. The only thing you can see are the wrinkles around his eyes, not the gleam in his eyes.

Yes, I can see enough. Like I said, either you see it or you don't. I've got enough personal experience with this to know as much. But it's pointless to keep talking about it as we'll never agree. We know that he did indeed have health problems. He cancelled shows after all. So even without the plane incident and the final od, we still know things were not right. It's a lovely picture of him, and it's great to see him smile like that.
