I was looking forward to Zoot's return to Scotland when the news of his terminal illness broke. 
Al replaced him.
When I mentioned to a knowledgeable friend the nature of Zoot's illness, cancer of the oesophagous, his reply was "a drinker."  Drink isn't always the cause of that awful affliction, and cigarettes don't help, but given the reports of Zoot's bibbing it would be fair to connect that with his premature death. 

Alas,
