Glen Campbell and Alzheimer’s
Glen Campbell was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the 2012 Grammys. As the singer performed Rhinestone Cowboy on the show, it was difficult to believe he was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. But that’s the way the disease goes– even though patients struggle with remembering, they still continue to function.
Campbell and his family knew something was wrong with his memory for years. He made a public announcement of his condition in 2011 and went on a Goodbye Tour that ended in November 2012.
