I saw that.  Someone I know had spent the morning with him, and was the person who drove him to the show.

I don't think he'd have wanted to go out any other way.

Maybe someday, but at his own 70th birthday celebration? I suspect he would have liked more time to celebrate a milestone birthday.

Agreed, I was simply referring to going out whilst onstage performing.
