Truth or Rumor..?

Recently, Billy Joel made an announcement at one of his shows that his friend Joe Cocker was "not doing very well".  Now, there is no mention on Joe Cocker's official website mind you ... and his P.R. group has not commented.  His twitter account is in a foreign language also, so does anybody know what's up?

I truly hope he's ok... but if he's NOT, I hope he gets well soon.  I think it would be a grave injustice if he was not elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during his lifetime.  If you know anything about his health, please feel most welcome to pass it on to me.
