He talked about having COPD in a TV interview with Dan Rather last year. He unfortunately used the phrase "my days are numbered," meaning as a singer, but people naturally jumped to the conclusion that he was terminally ill.

You would think so, though somehow his flute playing hasn't noticeably worsened at all over the 35+ year period where his singing has gone downhill, at least to my untrained ears.
