Glen Campbell Diagnosed With Alzheimer’s Disease

Glen Campbell may have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s but that won’t keep the 75-year-old country crooner from his music.

He may just need a little extra help when it comes to remembering his famed lyrics.

“Glen is still an awesome guitar player and singer,” his wife, Kim, told People. “But if he flubs a lyric or gets confused on stage, I wouldn’t want people to think, ‘What’s the matter with him? Is he drunk?’”

A conclusion that the couple wanted to avoid by going public with Campbell’s disease. But in lieu of his diagnosis, the singer does not seem to be slowing down. The chart-topping Grammy-winner is hoping to organize a farewell tour with a full schedule of live performances kicking off this fall.

“I still love making music,” Campbell said. “And I still love performing for my fans. I’d like to thank them for sticking with me through thick and thin.”

We have no doubt that Campbell’s concert goers will be more than happy to help the country legend out if he stumbles on stage.
