He finally received a transplant in May 2014 and later told his wife: "I hung in there - and a lot of the reason was due to you. Some of the nurses and the doctors, but mainly you."
Trout says in his update: "A year ago, we didn't know if I would still be here. Thanks to you and my music friends I'm still here and playing. I'm in the midst of making a new album and can't wait to see you out on tour."
Marie says: "The reason he's here today is that a family, at their darkest hour, allowed a liver to be used." Walter adds: "I'm living on because of someone else." Watch the video here.
