His personal life proved problematic. He had a failed marriage to nightclub dancer Jerri Gray. More significant was his heroin addiction, which combined with other financial problems led to his withdrawal from music and lapsing into relative obscurity. In an effort to deal with these issues he spent time at Synanon, which led to his mention in Art Pepper's autobiography.
