The last I heard, Eric lives someplace around the town of Ojai, CA with his (much younger) wife.....He dabbles about, occasionally singing publicly.....
He seems comfortable & happy in his semi active twilight years.....
Many of us fall into the same mold, just a few continents apart.....
In the interview, he seems to be happy, enjoying his life while savoring a nice vintage wine....
Kudos.....
Note:
I'm not sure how the accompanying pic got separated.....
