Ulitzer95 12,621 Posted March 11, 2022 Sir Cunto is right. He looks fine. He's been out and about socialising with his 20-something year old girlfriend. He's also a current member of Journey and they're still playing gigs so can't be much up with him. As far as I can see, his only risk factor is he has type 2 diabetes.
