According to my read, he has been "ill" for the last thirty odd years. He has done wonders in fighting it off over the decades. He died in the arms of his husband surrounded by family. RIP Joe.

I recall a prime time Saturday night show where he sang and did impersonations.

 

Sadly, times change and that kind of Saturday evening TV entertainment died out.

Very sad indeed.  He was an excellent singer and entertainer.  Glad for him that he was at home with his husband though when he died.
