Well that really sucks ... seriously fvck 2020.

RIP


EDIT: I remember when I used to listen to Howard Stern on K-Rock every morning driving into NYC for work years ago. Leslie West was a frequent guest on the show and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

This could have been phrased better.

In the mid-Eighties, he was diagnosed with diabetes — his lower right leg was amputated due to complications from the disease — and promptly lost 85 pounds, dropping to 200.
