Steve’s manager told the site that Steve has suffered from alcoholism throughout his life and that his liver has reached a serious stage of failing. According to his manager, Steve has only about a week to live.

Steve announced his retirement two years ago after an incident in which he slurred his words and yelled at an audience member during a live performance. At the time, Steve was battling cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and Wernicke’s encephalopathy, as well as drug addiction, which reportedly contributed to his deteriorating health.
