In the late 1960s, Franklin was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, the symptoms of which he combatted with cortisone so that he could continue performing. The constant use of cortisone left his immune system open to other infections and health problems; as a result Franklin developed Diabetes in the early 1980s and later contracted necrotizing fasciitis.
