He is suffering from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This is the most dangerous stage and there's generally a 5% chance that people at this stage will manage to survive for more than 5 years. Generally this stage cancer is terminal and people do not survive, and pass away within a year or two at the max. It is very sad news and he is a legend, and always will be. Best wishes to him and his family.
