I and my friends at Apknite saw him play in May and he was fantastic! Really connected with the crowd talking in between songs and really just sounded brilliant! We had an incredibly special night, one we will never forget, and it's in large part to the "money man" and his band. Thank you, Eddie! Bless your heart.

Two tickets to paradise has been a favoutire of mine for decades. It has a special place in my heart as the first time my husband and I went on a vacation together we listened to this song over and over before we left. I hope Eddie has some form of recovery and doesn't suffer.

Saw him perform a few years ago with some other bands at an outdoor venue; the temperature was 104 degrees (farenheit)... Eddie came out wearing three coats and slowly peeled them off singing "Bring Me Some Water!" eek lol What an opening! His voice was in good shape, he was funny and really engaged with the crowd, as in your case. I thought he had the best set there. My best wishes and prayers go out to him and his family.

So sad. He's given us so much great music. I wish him the best but when the big C gets to your liver, that's a tough one to beat. I'll pray for him.

BUT DO NOT SMOKE. That goes for everyone. Just don't. Don't smoke cigarettes. Don't smoke cigars. Don't smoke pipes. Don't smoke weed. Don't vape. Don't use a Juul.

There are nothing but bad things that happen when you ingest any kind of smoke into your lungs.

I liked "I think I'm In Love' alot.

He seemed like a lovely person and a good dad to his 5 children.
