I can’t help but recall that he developed colon cancer 30 years later. I suppose that, given that history, he might have been getting regular check-ups. It’s a good thing he recovered, though he did look quite thin during the 2014 tour.

All that drinking didn't help the situation, it's def a risk factor. He looked very gaunt on all the tours after his treatment... he needed to lose a few pounds in 2013, but not quite that many! although to me in 2014 he looked a bit better than 2018, 19 etc. My dad lost so much weight when he had cancer, he just had no appetite for more than a few bites at a time, and only particular foods.
