This is what he wrote on his web site. He now lives in Australia and is having a revivial of interest in his music. He has just put out his autobiography.
During my career I have played all the places I dreamed of and more. However, during the 80's, I was to experience some of my greatest professional highlights - yet some of my deepest personal lows. While touring Australia in 1982 my dear father lost his battle with cancer. This had a devastating effect on me and I was still reeling from the enormity of it when returning to the UK to headline a show at the Palladium. Being an important date, I expected my wife and family to attend - instead, I was handed a writ for divorce. I guess she had simply had enough of me flitting around the world chasing my dreams, but coming at that untimely moment placed further pressure on me. On the outside all seemed well, I performed at the Wembley Stadium and was given my own ABCTV Special followed by a summer season in Blackpool. But stress took its toll ending with pneumonia. After treatment I headed back home to Sydney in order to recuperate. Instead, I was rushed into hospital with collapsed lungs. I felt fine after the operation but was told by the doctor I would never sing again.
I was devastated. After a time I began to feel that this was not the end but only a new beginning and adapted to doing other things that I now had time for. I hosted TV and radio shows; Instigated the Galston Country Music Festival; Became the patron for The Music & Arts Talent Search (MATS); Started the annual presentation of 'The International Spur Award' given to Australian CM artists that I felt had overseas appeal and; lined up UK and European tours for the most promising. Meanwhile I have had lots of CD releases around the world. Now Rajon Music have released a collection of some of the best tracks I recorded from around the globe on a double album called 'Something Rare & Wonderful'. Many of the songs had not appeared before on CD format and some indeed are great rarities. So there is life in the old dog yet
