Nope. Everything remains in the original keys. He does however, avoid the high notes like a plague. This year, the ending line of Beautiful is way low. He strains thru "The Songs of the future have been sung.." in CRRT. But he hasn't dropped any keys as yet. He stays in the range of A thru D, mostly in B or Bflat. Occastionally he'll drop as far down as Gsharp for songs like "If Children Had Wings" but that is rare.
I might also add, that at the concert I was at, at the end of August, I was particularlly mindful of his voice quality and pitch. As far as I could tell, the Baritone was almost back to 100% Clear, clean, and without any hoarsness left. His sustain and vibrato, nearly perfect, I'm pleased to say.
