In a recent interview I watched he said he has been away for a while due to illness. Didn’t say what the illness was though. He still had the tough guy attitude and could hold a conversation just about but he has clearly aged in recent years. The interview is from sopranoscon and David proval (Richie aprile) comes in the middle of it too. They talk about how they knew each other from the neighbourhood when they were kids too..
That's the one I watched, he could not even hold the Mic and seemed confused, sad to watch..
