Consequently, his wife left him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to his extravagant lifestyle in the late 1820s Field suffered from rectal cancer&#8230; He is quoted as saying <em>&nbsp;\u201cI play better when I am drunk than anyone in Russia when they are sober.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em> He once passed out drunk when he was due at a concert and rumours spread that he had died! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gave his last concert in March 1836 and died of pneumonia the following year on 23rd January 1837.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His most famous piece was Nocturne, though he was not credited with it until after his death.
