Hi,
I actually hope he makes it through and is capable of doing one or two more tours. he is a very good player, and very nice to watch, but I wish there was more music in the band to stretch him even further and help the music get better.
I'm thinking that after this and some rest, he will likely have some very good material to work from and with, that could re-vitalize the "has-been" band of yesterday's hits.
We all hope for the best I'm sure! Specially given how harsh that thing can be.
