Over the last year, the 53-year-old singer has cancelled 21 shows after suffering from a bleeding ulcer and Barrett's esophagus. On Tuesday, he was hospitalized in San Francisco for double pneumonia.

But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
