Kim & Glen Campbell |
Kim Woolen Campbell, longtime wife of music legend Glen Campbell, reports that the public musical career of The Rhinestone Cowboy, Glen Campbell, is likely over.
Campbell's battle with Alzheimer’s has progressed to the point where, as FOX News reports, Kim told People Magazine he is now living in a full-time care facility near the family’s home in Nashville.
Kim also said that Glen is no longer able to tune his guitar, but can still play some "licks' finding joy in that. Kim was quoted in the article as saying "his disease has been “absolutely heartbreaking” for her and the couple’s three children, they try to stay positive".
This seems to be progressing far too quickly for Campbell. In 2012, Campbell was on his farewell tour across the country with Kim and his kids, who played in his band. His dueling banjo act with his daughter Ashley drew rave reviews from fans at every performance.
As previously posted, my family and I were honored to attend on of these shows at Silver Springs in Ocala, Florida. It was certainly a day we will always cherish and will never forget. It really touched our hearts.
We wish Glen and his family all the best during these times, hoping they will always cherish the joy Glen and his music has given his legions of fans over the years.
God Bless You Glen!
