In a statement, his family said: “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”

However, they later announced that Bruce’s condition had progressed to FTD. This type of dementia causes “challenges with communication,” emotional problems, and odd behaviours.

It’s now been announced that Bruce’s condition has sadly worsened. Glenn Gordon Caron, Moonlighting creator and close friend of Bruce, described him as an “extraordinary person”, but said he is now losing his ability to speak.

“Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now,” he told the New York Post. Glenn remembered how his friend “adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest,” before reflecting on how much Bruce’s disease has seen him decline.
