Direct answer:
- The latest publicly reported coverage in late 2024 to 2025 touched on a mix of entertainment projects and personal appearances, including notes about scheduling changes in a Hallmark project and a renaissance of his live-performance/standards show in New York. Public outlets also highlighted lighthearted street-performance sightings and continued career activity in music and stage work.
