Sad to hear but interesting article Briks.
Despite his health problems i admire the mindset he has
To me it seems he doesn't want to quit being a musician but that he just can't handle it due to health problems.
it also seems to me he is switching his creative medium to a less stressful one, if his body can't handle touring as a musician, f*ckin write novels then, that's just a smart move.
I hope he gets better and i hope he doesn't give up music forever.
