    Took my wife to see them in September. She was a big Monkees fan. I
    can't say I was, never watched the show, seemed a bit silly for us
    rather serious Brits :) Anyway, I enjoyed the show more than I thought
    I would. I'm glad I went.

    He'd had plumbing problems lately, and had had a quadruple back a couple
    years ago. Had a triple myself a half-dozen years ago. I guess his didn't
    work well. RIP Michael.

    Considering they had just done a 42 date farewell tour in little over 2
    months, I would say it has done him pretty well. There are people who
    have had less operations that have died younger.

    Dang, that would have been cool to see. I wonder if there are any recordings

    I watched on YouTube a video of one of the last show, when I watched it I said to myself this dude is gonna be dead in months,, he was walking around on stage like a robot, you could tell he was having health issues as even when he was talking to the audience he was slow and weak. It's pretty sad to see your youth (mine as I watched this show both first run and re-runs) fade away.

    Lucky you :) I would have loved to have seen that show.

    It's sad he has passed but then none of us are getting any younger it seems. :)

    I liked the song he did 'lucy and ramona and sunset sam'

    If you search up "nelgin" on Facebook or use my name I have a few
    recordings from Dallas, and youtube has a bunch.

    Ya. Rumour was he looked rather sickly throughout the tour but kept
    going. Glad he got a final tour in.

    There is a video on YouTube of the last 4 songs of the final concert, it's pretty sad as he is just walking around the stage in a stupor and he looked at times like he was lost...

    ... I'm not a complete idiot... Several parts are missing!

    his family said in a statement
    Some are saying his last tour killed him.
