I saw him about six years ago, and even then he was really slowing down. I believe he is diabetic, and he sat on a stool the entire show. The first part of the show was carried by someone else - his son, I think.

It sounds like he's just too old and infirm to perform anymore, so he should stop performing publicly and just entertain himself on the front porch with some old buddies.

Around 1999 I saw him at Great Woods in MA (he boasted about being in the forthcoming Blues Brothers 2000 movie) he sat down for most of the show. If not all. (Robert Cray and Tower of Power horns were openers)
