"A Better Place" is the second video from Glen Campbell's critically acclaimed album "Ghost On The Canvas." The video features a special guest appearance from Joshua Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures), and is directed by Kii Arens and Jason Trucco.

The legendary singer, guitarist, and television star, Glen Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease last year. Following more than 20 Top 40 hits and selling 50 million records worldwide, Campbell this year received a Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award (his 8th GRAMMY to date). He is currently midway through his "The Goodbye Tour" to say a fond thank you to his legions of loyal fans. Campbell's final studio album "Ghost On The Canvas" is out now on Surfdog Records. The album represents a poignant look back at his life and career with contributions by the artists he continues to inspire.

This farewell video features Campbell looking back at his life and career. He also sends a personal message to his wife, Kimberley, a former Radio City Music Hall dancer that the Rhinestone Cowboy met on a blind date in 1981. "My love goes out to Kim, my amazing grace. You've been by my side through these changing times, and it means the world to me."

    Alzheimers is a horrible disease I know because my Mother Has it and My Heart Broke in pieces the last time I went to visit her she didn't even know who I was...So I urge anyone out there to try and make a donation to the Alzhiemers Society and lets hope and pray that they will find a cure

    Though we didn't actually meet, I had the pleasure of playing with Glen at a multi-artist concert in Dayton OH around 1999...weirdest ending for a concert ever, as TJ interrupted Glen during the countoff for the closer (Rhinestone Cowboy, natch) and said, "say goodnight- they don't want to pay the orchestra overtime....I'd sure have preferred to just play the song.....rules.....I also had the pleasure of seeing Glen in Nov. 2012 in Cincinnati, along with a wonderful opening act! God Bless!!

    I would never had heard this beautiful song if I hadn't been such a huge fan of QOTSA.
