Last year, Leonard revealed that he had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after he was spotted being wheeled through JFK airport with oxygen tube attached to his nose. "I quit smoking 30 years ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!! LLAP [Live Long and Prosper]," he tweeted to his fans at that time.
"Smokers, please understand. If you quit after you're diagnosed with lung damage it's too late. Grandpa says learn my lesson. Quit now," he added, "I'm doing OK. Just can't walk distances. Love my life, family, friends and followers. LLAP."
