He wasn't diagnosed with ALS until the end of 1977, after a rather extensive tour.
I know when he was diagnosed with it. You can have it for a couple years before it becomes noticeable enough to go see a doctor. It also can explain why he died so soon after being diagnosed. I don't think he even lived half the average from diagnosis.
