Celebrating his 67th birthday on his Rock 50 radio show, Ward says: "On a personal note, when I was having some problems in the hospital in November and December - I'd gone through the operations, the first of the operations I had in November and December of 2013.

"I had my iPod and the one song I played practically every day was Cornucopia. It really helped me along to listen to it. I was in pretty bad shape, and I wanted to listen to what I used to be like, at that time. Now I can play it again, though. The bad days have gone. It's passed. But it really helped me when I was in the hospital listening to that song on the iPod." Read more - here.
