i hate to say it but, i think getting sick kept him from making it
worse. he was singing all these roles that require bigger, brighter voices
and was killing himself doing it. after recovering from his illness, he
seemed to have given up on trying to keep up with the 'big boys'. however,
a lot of the damage had been done and i would agree that being ill probably
took too much out of him in order to have any hopes of trying to recover what
he once had (which, probably wasn't likely anyway).
