Let's hope his isn't a highway to hell.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

In all seriousness, it sucks to be witness to the idols you had as a teenager/20-something slide into oblivion like that.

He's 61.

According to Wiki, he is already in a nursing home and has suffered a complete loss of memory.
