time since 1985, Lieberman retired from making music altogether due to his progressing cancer. In October of that year, damage from Hurricane Sandy destroyed many of his instruments and equipment but spared his Korg D1600 recording board. In the spring of 2013, after a year of suspending cancer treatment, his case was taken on by Memorial Sloan-Kettering. A bone-marrow biopsy determined he suffered from myelofibrosis, a condition where a once prolific marrow turns to fiber and slowly stops producing blood cells. In September 2013, Lieberman began undergoing experimental chemotherapy with a drug known only as AUY-922 lasting six months in an effort to reverse progression and to bring back an earlier stage of the disease. Instead of having any sort of beneficial effect, the treatment actually progressed the disease, causing Lieberman to be hospitalized frequently, receiving forty-five transfusions between February and December 2014. However, in November 2013, Lieberman rose from his sick-bed to do a quick cover of "My Kingdom" by Echo And The Bunnymen, his first new output since the My Magic Last Days sessions in May 2012. The disease's progression eventually caused Lieberman's retirement from his 29-year stint as Comptroller for the Village of Freeport. Return of the Jewish Pirate (3rd to 6th Pirate) At the end of his radio interview on 30 December 2014, Lieberman promised to try and release a follow-up to 2007's Last of the Jewish Pirates to be entitled Return of the Jewish Pirate. At project's end, he had released a 76-song, 4 volume set on 19 May 2015, the 70th birthday of one of his greatest heroes Pete Townshend. Due to the overall length of the last "Pirate" series, Lieberman was not able to get press on the collection after its release. 2015-2022 Symphonic Punk, Thrash-Opera and The Noise Militia By early 2018, Lieberman,began producing his most prolific, complex and sometimes most experimental music of his career. Drawing on his experience in symphonic, marching and jazz bands and orchestras decades earlier as well as a need to break the rules of mainstream music of instrumentation and production, Lieberman had arranged orchestral parts to blend with his punk/thrash style, fusing it to progressive rock (The Gangsta Rabbi's Punk Thrash Thick as a Brick/A Passion Play), opera (recreating a fully orchestrated three-hour version of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS opera (recreating a fully orchestrated three-hour version of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore)</ref> and his classical punk/thrash
