Warren Zevon on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2002
Warren Zevon's final public appearance / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shortly after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, American singer-songwriter Warren Zevon made his final public appearance on the late-night talk show Late Show with David Letterman on October 30, 2002. Zevon, who had regularly appeared on the show over the preceding decade, was unusually given the majority of the episode to talk with Letterman and perform three songs. The episode is known for the humor that Zevon used throughout the interview, as well as his quip that his terminal diagnosis was a reminder to "enjoy every sandwich".
