I wouldn't call myself a fan of any of his songs, but for those who were, what a disappointment it is that he decided turning in on himself was preferable to engaging with the world, and making good new music. He died somewhere around 1990 and not 2009 as far as I am concerned.

He was training with Lou Ferrigno to get in shape for a 50 date tour that was to launch in July. 750,000 tickets had already been sold.

he was hardly insignificant any longer as far as his career goes.
