Singer Glen Campbell on his recent Alzheimer's diagnosis

[momsher1]

God bless Glen!

[Gangsterish500]

He's my cousin, but I never got to meet him though.. We told his manager to come and see us after the concert, but I guess he forgot, or was too busy. /:

[PrimalLiyanage]

love to a legend

[yesmon4real]

A lot of folks may know Glen can pick that guitar but the may not know he can Rock, I mean scream ,Hendrix style, Ive seen it, I was blown away. I'm glad that I met him in my life, he is kind soul , great guy. I wish you and your wonderful family the best Glen.

[blues917]

Glen and Kim are the kind of people you'd like to have over for dinner.

[wisemaz]

Congrats on a marvelous career, Glen! We were both teenagers in Albuquerque when you were playing and singing with your uncle's band at your uncle's club out in Tijeras canyon in the Sandia mountains. I fell in love with your talent, and I went out there every weekend with my girl. We danced often, but more often just sat and listened. Of course you, me and my girl were too young to be working at or drinking (even Cokes!) at a bar/nightclub then, but no one ever hassled us. I'm a fan-for-life!

[osocazo]

[johnstreak]

Well, who knows if Glen will read this but just in case he does:

My dad has had Alzhiemers for 4 years. 2 years ago we started givng him caffiene supplements and coral calcium. Dad instantly (and I mean instantly) improved and has not regressed any further since then. He is about to turn 90 this March. You can contact me on my channel and I'll give you the details. Hope you get this in time. Good Bless.

6000mg's of liquid ginko everyday will greatly enhance your brains function. I know i do it every day.

[SmokeyandtheBandit77]

[banjoplayer57]

I grew up with Glen's music. I still have all his albums... yes, albums, not CDs. LOL. I wish you all the best, Glen. :)

[nellopinello]

best wishes to the country giant, the evergreen Glen Cambell.

[bobbyozb]

We need more people in this world like these two.....God bless Glen and his wife !!!

[trekcannondale11]

God Bless Glen

[ReneJohnMusic]

I love all Your music Glen and I write songs too never had one published oh well I now work with alzheimer's patients and wrote them a song called I'll Carry You posted whede I work PVM on youtube as Rene"s Song I'LL Carry You.

[dresden24]

I consider myself fortunate that I was one of the people in his audience tonight in Branson, Missouri.

Gentle on my mind takes me back to when I was a little kid riding in the back seat with my sister as my parents drove us to the lake.

Thanks Glen for so many classic songs.

[wingobingo]

Even if he only recorded witchhita lineman the man would still be a legend, he surrounded himself with the Best musicians & songwriters, an inspirational & truly great egg. Hugs

[peaceniq]

God bless you Glen.

[lilywondertwin]

A real inspirational man. Gob Bless you Glen I am so glad you are touring!! 

[9999norton]

Few remember he was in the Beach Boys' touring band for a while.

[66trckdrvr]

Glen, Thank you for your hard work and inspiration. You seem so pleasant, down to earth, and sincere. May God bless you, your beautiful wife and family .... from one guitar player to another!

[rrreinhard]

Glen had a unique soaring voice, like a glider. Unique, timeless He coud also become a classique bariton singer. I am from Bavaria, Germany, bought his LP "Glen Campbell Anne Murray" about 1980 - since then I am a fan of Glen. Unique talented. And worldwide underestimated. He is as good as Placido Domingo and all that classic men - but he never was recognised that good.

Best regards to Glen from Bavaria, Reinhard

[1dholloway]

I doubt Glen Campbell will ever read this; but I nevertheless want to at least make this small gesture, telling him that his music - and above all his bold and humble faith - have meant more to me that I could ever articulate.

Thank you, my brother, and I am comfortable that you will reap according to what you have sown for Him, precisely as He promised us.

[TRIXIEDOG1]

I saw Glenn last night at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, Scotland, on his Goodbye Tour.

I was in awe of his talent, he leaves a great legacy to the world and I won't ever forget him.

I met his family afterwards and they were so lovely and well mannered, that Glenn must be proud of them, and of their undoubted musical talent as well.

God be with you Glenn

Psalm 46. v.10

Paul T McKenna

[MrCajunmojo]

God bless Glen. Will pray for you.

[03rn1768]

Glen I saw you and your talented band last week in Castlebar Ireland !!!! God bless you and thank God for letting me see you and hear you. Legendary show. There was a lot of love there for you that night, take care brother.

[MrRonnieG]

The love of my life (Kathy) and I saw Glen Campbell in concert in June of 1968 at the old Melodyland (a venue "in the round") in Anaheim, California. By June of 1969 I was in Vietnam and our relationship was gone, forever. But Glen Campbell, for a moment in time, made my life very special. Believing that the power of prayer is a dynamic act, indeed, I would like to ask that each of you join me in praying for Glen and his wife. Please join in, please have faith that we can help. Please.

[MSFOXYBOYNO1]

@MrRonnieG what a heart felt message to leave,i hope you are well and don't doubt that i pray for people and more so for glen at this moment in time.

[aa100zz]

Love Glen Campbell! A brilliant guitarist! A brilliant singer! and a brilliant guy!

What a career, Glen`s songs will live forever!

[MsJune54]

At least their outlook is good, try to focus on the things that are good rather then the things that are bad.

[dalotel]

Sad even talented people live in denial. 

[texglo56]

So many years of musical enjoyment, thank you Glen! God bless you.



[Cuda0273]

Love these songs on the new album "Ghost On The Canvas". It touched me in a special way having a mom with dementia who passed here in August. Please listen and understand dementia and alzheimers with the wonderful words Glen has used in these songs. Bless you and know you are in my prayers.

[kapacon]

Man, what courage to share this with the public. He is an incredible human being that has helped shape American Music with his voice and his guitar playing. Did you know he played as a session guitarist on the Champs tune, Tequila?

[wodiej]

Didn't know he had alzheiners. Lots of great music. God bless him.

[timmytabby]

I have recently seen him at the Royal Festival Hall in London and I can say that I admired this man. He will always be a star and a talented man. And his kids have talent too. Thanks for all the years Mr Campbell of your wonderful music

[PACIFICFM]

Glen, you rule and are truly one of the most talented artists EVER...LOVE Ghost On The Canvas!!! (and your version of MacArthur Park is EPIC!)

[coolbeans19101]

This man is the genuine American hero, love you Glen!

Thank you for sharing. My mom, a retired nurse, (and my hero), now has Alzheimers. I especially love your songs Try a Little Kindness, and I Wanna Live. :-) Keep singing!

[lastdaysguitar]

Praying for you Glenn, thanks for sharing your excellent music all these years!

[therealjoebloggs]

Keep it up as best you can for as long as you can, Glenn; do not go gentle into that good night--rage, rage against the dying of the light...

[BTBHSOHBOY]

So sad to think that this master will no doubt lose his guitar abilities and many of his fondest memories. I hope your last years are filled with joy Glen, despite the pain you will no doubt feel.

[emilybbbbb49]

I'm a big fan...love his music

[Mlczdk1]

"It aint bothering me any"...keep on not letting it bother you Glen.As long as you can pick up that ovation and move us you will be ok.Aint nothin can stop an Arkansas boy...One of the greatest guitar players of our time.I got a feelin you gonna be ok

[librastars]

I love you always, Glen!

[heartholder143]

What a GREAT man and so much talent- his eyes show what a wonderful person he is

[MsEldee]

Such a gifted wonderful man, his music and words make me cry. Its good to know he has the great love of his family. Keep on going glen and god go with you. xx

[hwe57]

I heard almost all his songs in my childhood days. We even have his TV programes back then and would never miss watching them. He has got the country voice that blend so well. Read that he went alcholic few years back. Hope he got out of that. Alas, age catches up and as mortal beings we all shall leave one day. I wish him well and hope to hear him sing live that infamous song, "Honey come back".

[dutchgoing]

Bah! Alzheimers, what a curse. Seems like a nice fellow.

[DYNODRUM]

Glen, your Dynamite and always gave Us the Best .Keep on ,Your a Bull. Yet, still Gentle on our minds . We Love You...

[tbeltram62]

DeclanTKatt...it's "A Thing Called Love"...usually sung by Jerry Reed... Great song to say the least...

[DeclanTKatt]

Anyone know the tune he starts this off with?? It's great!

[wklenscape]

we never forget him

[Djoanng]

Love you Glen

[elisa412]

We call it Sometimers Glenn *smiles*..we love you. Always will.. ( What I Wouldn't Give Glenn ~to make you well again ..

[paulf6768]

My father recently died from Alzheimers, this is such a cruel disease especially for someone with so much talent, my thoughts are with you and you family

[SusQ45]

What a wonderful guy for sure! All the talent he has ran along with over the past 5 decades is incredible! Jerry Reed, Roger Miller, Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys just to name a few. I have so enjoyed watching as many great videos of Glenn on youtube as I can find. I wish the best to Mr. Campbell and the road ahead, the main road searchin' in the sun for another overload, God Bless and take care....

[interstategar]

first I found out about this. That's a shame. Hope its very slow in its affects. A great entertainer and guitarist. Best to you Glenn-keep rockin

[TheBrevo]

can't wait to see him in Minnesota in October

[krislindberg1220]

I saw you last night at Chukchansi Casino....you were awesome!

[bld9696]

I have been a fan of this legend since I was a young boy in the 60's. I never missed his Goodtime Hour and have seen him live several times. My greatest thrill was meeting and talking with Glen many times when I worked for Ping Golf in Phoenix in the early 2000's. He is an unbelievably nice man. You would never know he is a superstar; so down to earth and humble. When I learned about his situation, I cried like a baby. May God comfort Glen and his loved ones for, hopefully, many years to come.

[WoodyWoodpecker53]

Glen is bigest than that sickness. Thanks for your wonderful work along all of your life.

[nigelbobclark]

My thoughts are with you and your family, enjoy today and live for today. You are amazing and my favorite longtime artist. Good luck Mr Campbell xx May god look down on you always

[xAshleemarie]

Shoud have mentioned he was going to sing thing called love! one of my fave songs . Should get the VHS Live at the Dome where he sings it - amazing!!

[spintight100]

An American icon who's commercial success overshadowed what an amazing musician he is. Hard living at times in his life, but a generous, self effacing, humble, gracious, individual. He has given us a lifetime of memories and our best wishes and prayers follow him as he rides into the twilight of a wonderful life and an extraordinary career.

[whatanightmare1]

He does have a good attitude about it all, looks like he has great support from his wife..and it is great that he is going to do one last tour, for him as well as his many fans. Godspeed, Mr. Campbell!

[trinamarie480]

God bless you and your family Mr. Campbell! I'll keep y'all in my prayers.

[sbbinahee]

Lovely guy, lovely couple!

[steve998]

I am such a fan of Glen. But I cannot understand why he had a facelift. Why oh why do you Americans do this to your faces? Face lifts on old men..it just looks stupid. And Kim....you have no nose left you have had so much shaved off it.

[aftkev11]

my mum is sufering from the illness .. it breaks my heart wen i go to see her , and know wot she was like 10 years ago . god bless my mum , and to you to glen .... u av given so much pleasure with ur music .... its just a river of tears .

[cowhanson]

I met him at the Wisconson Dells and he was a very nice person.God Bless him as he continues to tour one more time

[yearling4]

Aww, hang in there, Glen Campbell.....stay positive, good attitude! :)

[lotusesprit1981]

I saw Mr Campbell perform once..fairrly recently, in 2000 or 2001..in Clearwater FL and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Mr Campbell, from a kid growing up in the 60's and telling my father when a song of yours came on the radio to "make that louder", you have given me and the whole world endless enjoyment with your music and presence. God Bless and take care of you

[willetorecordsllc]

Glen, I am a great fan and your songs bring back a lot of memories. I wish you the best man. God bless.

[TheAchim1961]

Thank you....!!!!



[DRUMMERKEV1]

The man is a legend

[Janicemaxwell]

God Bless yu Glen. I love your music and can see that you've given happiness to so many people. I love you and will always love you and your music. just hope that I can see you on your farewell tour if I can be so lucky. God Speed.

[patgunterjohnson]

I've always enjoyed Glen's music.....this makes me so sad

[blues917]

Your music makes you immortal, Mr Campbell. 

[jblanche747474]

You have given us so much in all your music...best to you and your family in this journey. best!

[npwd]

Watching this had this 45 year old man in tears!

[JazzKeyboardist1]

i read you still practice your scales everyday, but don't forget to take your meds, good luck

[starboydc]

Mr. Glen Campbell, you are one gifted, super talented and tremendous singer and instrumentalist. From Delight, AR to LA, CA to Nashville and so many places beyond. From top-flite session man to recording artist to headlining entertainer, you are the best - God Bless You.

[cleanpage1]

Mr. Campbell, you are a true icon, I can't tell you how much your voice and guitar playing has meant to me in my life. I watched True Grit at least 13 times and cried every time you died. My Mom was soooooooo happy that I was nuts over you and not the Beatles like my sister did. God bless you

[mjhudson100]

Listened to Glen all my life. I remember a concert LP my father had in 1970.... His music influenced my style in many ways...... Brilliant guy.... My thoughts are with him.....

[mjhudson100]

Listened to you Glen all my life and your style has influenced me along.... So sorry to hear of your illness.... My thoughts are with you....... Martin.

[OobleCostu]

Saw Glen Campbell and his very versatile and talented band (including his children!) perform at the CNE Bandstand in Toronto, Canada on Wednesday August 31. Simply still an outstanding and wonderful singer after all these years. Not only was it great to see Mr. Campbell perform live but also to see the audience show their appreciation for all the wonderful music he has given us all over the years.

Wishing you all the best Life has to offer, Mr. Campbell.

[wcwiegman]

Glenn, my friend, get checked out for Chronic Lyme Disease.

I listened to your interview this morning on NPR and just watched this and listened to your album and I'm positive you don't have Alzheimer's. You are waayyy to coherent and can remember waaayyy to many lyrics to have OldTimer's disease. Seriously!

Lyme mimics most of the symptoms but you can get rid of it with antibiotics.

Love your incredible guitar licks

[ams3521]

You're Glen Campbell and a Legend., that's who you are.

God bless you.

[now33]

Glenn will be kept ever gentle on the mind of lots of people....

[MARI007100]

El Gran Glen mi inspiración y ahora mas que nunca mi gran ejemplo a seguir que apesar de su salud sale de gira mundia El es una Bendición de Dios...

[donnyob123]

A Great, Great picker, singer and writer!!!!! Great!!!!

[hinbieger]

Glen rules! Best of luck to him and his family. Gotta pick up my Ovation!

[IYAMNI]

I'm an old prog-rocker and I have nothing but respect for Glen Campbell. I have a compilation of his older material, Galveston, Witchita Lineman, Rhinestone Cowboy etc... and many might not know it, because he never really shred out on his albums, but he was an amazing guitarist. Some of you might recall the night he traded jazz kicks with George Benson on Midnight Special. Left a great legacy of music.

[peglee2002]

lots of very good, talented everyday people have been affected by this disease...my mom included at age 59, for 7 very long yrs watching her fade away, until she finally did oct. 21, 2009. God Bless Glen and his family give his wife and children the strength during his illness. Its tough, really tough to watch your love one fade away, while you watch them decline.

[misstinsley]

Glen has always been an inspiration to me - even more so after watching this.

[panicsum]

Love him so much

[CrazyEmmaRobertsFan]

He shows great courage for what he's going through. A real man.
