They interviewed his mom but I never caught what was wrong with him. It came about that he never had a cleft pallet at all just a speach impedement.

GONE TOO SOON
Howard commented that he can’t believe Cliff Palette passed away on Tuesday, especially because he had spoken to him on the air just hours before his death. Robin then pointed out that as ill and in pain as Cliff was that morning, he didn’t complain about his condition. After playing clips of his discussion with Cliff from Tuesday, as well as the interview Shuli conducted with him that day, Howard played Fred’s tribute to Cliff, a song called “Poor Cliff Palette’s Passed Away” which was sung to the tune of the Beatles’ “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.”

It was pretty bizarre. Clef was outed a day before his death for not having a clef pallet. Luckily the Stern crew wasn't to hard on him. He sounded fine on the radio, if not a little depressed about the revelation.

Seemed like a sweet guy.
