He had spina bifida. His foot was super fucked up. He had surgeries and every time, his foot came out worse. After unbearable pain while standing at a concert for hours on end, he simply couldn't stand anymore due to the pain. He thought about it and some of his friends even asked why he didn't just cut it off so he said, "fuck it." and did to relieve the pain. It worked.

(none of this is a quote, I'm paraphrasing)
