Very, very sad - the soundtrack of my childhood - could see things werent right a few years ago when he bounded on stage at the Calgary Folk Fest with a big cheery HELLO EDMONTON - he seemed a bit muddled and flustered that night & a few months after the disease was diagnosed - was happy to get the chance to see a TRUE LEGEND
Huge talent......his legacy will be several really smooth and wonderfully performed massive hits that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. RIP....Glen....RIP.
I didn't realise how prolific a session musician he'd been before making it in his own right until I watched "The Wrecking Crew" on Netflix a few weeks ago. Worth a look, music fans.
Watched the Grammy winning documentary 'I'll be me' recently. It follows Campbell on tour as he (and his family) wrestle with his condition. Very lucky man to have such a wonderful wife and daughter, who really took care of him. The film is still available on Sky Arts.
RIP Glen. Some seriously good music back there. I'm not a country fan but he wrote a lot of stuff I love. The dementia is sad, but he made a lot of people happy.

Big fan of Glen Campbell, grew up listening to my dad's eight track albums.
RIP Glen, music legend.
