Bobby had a serious bout with throat cancer (too many years in smoke-filled arenas?). He seems to have the better of it and still has his voice. You can catch up with all things Heenan at:

Triple-C, are you going to catch this via pay-per-view or at a sports bar? I got the miracle of ScrambleVision.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Heenan several years ago in the airport in Atlanta. I was on my way to Huntsville, Alabama, via Atlanta. Coincidently, WCW Monday Nitro was being broadcast from the Von Braun Civic Center in Huntsville that evening. Heenan and a number of the WCW wrestlers were on my flight. He was very gracious, and very funny - stayed in character the whole time we spoke. I had heard that he was battling cancer, and am glad to hear that things are going better for him these days.

I wasn't planning on watching the PPV (saving my $$$ for better things, but I'll eventually catch it on video)

Bobby the Brain was always one of my favorites (he sure could peg a "humanoid"). He had such great chemistry with Gorilla Monsoon on the old Prime Time wrestling shows on USA cable. They don't make "heel" commentators like Heenan or Jesse the Body anymore (Jerry "the King" Lawler sucks in comparison)
