These trees do suffer from dieback quite a lot. Cut back to live wood (not too deep into live wood or it'll bleed, just on the line where the dead ends and the live begins) on the one that's suffering and feed it with a balanced general purpose fertiliser, but to be honest, once they start this problem, it usually gets 'em in the end. Still worth trying to keep it going though.
