We know he loves sailing, hopefully he's doing it if his health and energy allow it.

I assume he no longer feels the need to play music or keep himself busy in that business. If that were the case, I'm sure Mick would have invited him and he would have been with him and Lindsey at the sessions we've seen recently.

I agree that if John had any interest in playing, mick would have made him feel welcome. I just think he has no desire to do it anymore.

Haven't heard much about his health. Only heard he could barely walk at Chris's memorial and needed to use a cane, he was pretty destroyed. A few months later, when he went to the opening of Molly's film The Ossam in April 2023 he looked pretty good; Julie attended that with him.


I don't know if he has a boat anymore. I hope he has a small one...the big one, he sold i believe around the time Chris passed. I also heard the people who bought it were from New England, so the boat had to be sailed around to the east coast so they could pick it up. Once they took possession of it , they tried to return home up the coast but hit a storm, and the boat sank. Don't know what happened to the people! But very sad all around. He loved his boats and got so much happiness on the water. I hope he still finds a way to do that.

I see quotes from his Q&As in books a lot ( often uncredited to us btw... -_- ) so that kind of makes me happy that writers and fans still use that as a resource. That was John's best interview ever. Perhaps I'm biased.


I think about him all the time , and wish him health and peace... he's such a good guy, and he deserves it.
